This cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was amazing. I would recommend adding some extra moisture to the batter.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise evenly, but it still tasted great. I'll definitely try this recipe again.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less sugar in the buttercream.

I'm not a huge fan of chestnuts, but I really enjoyed this cake. The buttercream was not too sweet and the cake was moist and fluffy.
