I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as expected. It was a little dry and the shamrock design didn't come out very well. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

The cake was delicious, but I had a little trouble getting the shamrock shapes to cut out cleanly. I think I might try using a different cutter next time.
