To prepare, simply remove the plastic wrap from the frozen cake. Place it on a baking sheet or directly in its original pan if it is oven-safe. Bake in a preheated oven according to the package directions, typically until the cake is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow it to cool slightly before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
