Notes
- Frosting. This recipe uses a glaze topping, but you can make a cream cheese frosting instead.
- Make ahead of time. Bake it 24 hours in advance and store, unglazed, covered at room temperature. You can also wrap the baked cake with plastic and foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Just reheat it in the oven for a few minutes to get warm before drizzling with the glaze.
- Store leftovers, covered, on the counter for 3-4 days or wrap and freeze for up to 3 months.
