• The baking time may vary depending on your oven, so keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time.

Storage and Serving

• This cake is best served warm, straight from the oven.
• If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• To reheat, simply microwave individual portions for a few seconds until warm.
