This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a disaster! The batter was too runny and the cake didn't rise properly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The flavor of the cake was great, but the texture was a little dry. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time.
