I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out anything like the picture. It was flat and dense, and the frosting was runny. I'm not sure if I'll try this recipe again.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the frosting was too sweet. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
