I followed the recipe exactly, but my cakes didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. They were a bit dry and crumbly.

These cakes were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred them to be a bit lighter and fluffier.

I'm not a huge fan of lemon desserts, but these cakes were surprisingly good. The lemon flavor was subtle and not overpowering.
