[email protected]This eggnog cake was just okay. It was a little dry and the eggnog flavor was not very strong. I probably won't make it again.

[email protected]This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly, and the texture was dense and crumbly. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
