To enjoy, remove the cake from the freezer a short time before serving. The exact thawing time can vary depending on the ambient temperature of your kitchen. This allows the ice cream to soften slightly, making it easier to slice and serve. Use a sharp knife dipped in hot water for cleaner cuts. It can be served as is, or with additional toppings like whipped cream or fruit if desired. It is best enjoyed immediately after thawing.
