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

This cake was a bit dry for my taste, but it was still good. I think I might try adding some extra butter or oil next time. The glaze was also a bit too sweet, but that's just my personal preference.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. The glaze was a little too thick, but that's an easy fix. Overall, I enjoyed this cake and would make it again with a few adjustments.
