This cake was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some additional spices next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my cake didn't turn out as fluffy as I expected. I'm not sure if I didn't mix the ingredients properly or if I overcooked it.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. Otherwise, it was a great recipe.
