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

This cake was a disaster. It fell apart when I tried to take it out of the pan.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and flavorless. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.
