This cake was not what I expected. It was very dense and not very flavorful.

The cake was a bit dry. I would recommend adding more butter or oil to the batter.

I found this cake to be a bit too sweet. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

This cake is a bit dense, but it's still very good. I would recommend using a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan.
