To enjoy this cake, remove it from its packaging. If the cake has been frozen, allow it to thaw completely in the refrigerator. This usually takes several hours. Once thawed, you can slice and serve it immediately. For best results, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water to cut clean slices. It is best served chilled. You can add fresh berries or a dusting of cocoa powder for extra flair, though it is delicious on its own.
