This cake was a disaster. It was dry, crumbly, and had no flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

The cake didn't rise very well. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

The cake was a bit dry, but the flavor was good. I would recommend adding more butter or oil next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I've tried many mud cake recipes before, but this one is by far the best. The cake was rich, dense, and had a beautiful crumb. It was also very easy to make. I will definitely be making this again and again!
