This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

This cake is amazing! It's so moist and flavorful, and the glaze is the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making this again and again.

The cake was good, but it wasn't as moist as I would have liked. I think I'll try adding a little more butter next time.

This cake was a disaster! It didn't rise properly and the glaze was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

I made this cake for my husband's birthday and he loved it! He said it was the best root beer cake he's ever had.

The cake was okay, but nothing special. It was a little too dense for my taste, and the glaze was a bit too sweet.

This cake was a huge disappointment. It was dry and flavorless, and the glaze was too thick and goopy. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

The cake was easy to make and turned out great! I used a bundt pan and it came out perfectly. The glaze was a little too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a delicious cake.
