cakes that do not deliver

I have been trying out new cakes and the first one was rated do not make again and that is from someone who eats most things. The second new cake (Peanut bars without peanut butter) I had high hopes for. After all the recipe came from a well known baker and her things are always great. Again a “flop” although this time it was my fault as I put in only half the flour the recipe called for. I will call it peanut brittle and serve it, as it turned out rather tasty, just not what I wanted.

So what have you made that did not measure up?
