Serving: This cake is delicious on its own, but it also pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgence.
Storage: Store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you have glaze on top, it’s best to store the cake in the fridge. You can also freeze the cake for up to 2-3 months—just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap before freezing.
