This cake is way too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the glaze.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out right. It was too dense and gummy. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not a big fan of root beer, but I decided to give this cake a try anyway. I'm so glad I did! The cake is incredibly moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy.
