Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake is a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter texture.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out dry and crumbly. I think I might have overcooked it.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. It's also a great option for people with gluten sensitivities.

I had some trouble getting the cake to come out of the pan in one piece, but it still tasted great.
