I'm not sure what went wrong, but this cake did not turn out well for me. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't come out right.

This cake was a disaster. The frosting was too runny and the cake itself was undercooked.

I found this cake to be a bit dry. I think I would add some extra milk or water to the batter next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved it.

I wasn't sure about the chocolate frosting at first, but it ended up being my favorite part of the cake. It was so rich and creamy.

This cake was a hit at my party! It was so moist and chocolatey, and the frosting was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. I will definitely be making this again.
