This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but the flavor was good. The sauce was also a bit too sweet for me. I think I would try a different recipe next time.

The cake was a bit dry, but the sauce helped to make up for it. I think I would add a little more butter to the cake batter next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I might have overmixed the batter. The flavor was still good, but the texture was a bit off.
