This recipe was a disaster! The cake was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too runny.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly, but the flavor was still good.

This cake is delicious! The almond flavor is subtle but really adds to the overall flavor.

This gold cake was a hit at my party! It was moist and fluffy, and the frosting was rich and creamy. I would definitely make it again.
