I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out at all. It was dense and rubbery.

I had high hopes for this cake, but it was a bit of a disappointment. The cake was dry and the mint filling was too runny.

This cake was a bit too minty for my taste, but my friends loved it. I think next time I'll use a different type of mint extract or even omit it altogether.

This cake was easy to make and turned out great! The only change I made was to use a different type of mint extract. I also added a chocolate ganache frosting, which took it to the next level.
