Number Of Ingredients 17

3 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

This cake was a disaster. It didn't rise properly and the frosting was too runny. I'm not sure what I did wrong, but I won't be trying this recipe again.

The instructions for this recipe were a bit confusing. I ended up having to guess at some of the steps, which made the cake turn out less than perfect.

This recipe was missing some key ingredients, like baking powder and salt. I had to add them myself, which made me question the accuracy of the rest of the recipe.

This cake was a little too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. The frosting was a little too sweet for my taste, but that's an easy fix. Overall, I'm very happy with this recipe.
