Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either.

This cake is very dense. I would recommend using less flour.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. Maybe I didn't use enough oil.

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

I've never cooked with morning glory leaves before, but this recipe was a great introduction. The cake was moist and flavorful, and the leaves added a nice touch of bitterness.
