I thought these cakes were just okay. They were a bit too dense for my taste.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cakes turned out dry and crumbly. I don't think I will be making this recipe again.

These cakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.
