This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the chocolate flavor was barely noticeable.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred it to be a little lighter and fluffier.
