You can also use slices as a base for mini trifles or parfaits by layering them with fruit and custard.

How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any remaining cake in its original packaging, ensuring it is tightly sealed. Keep the cake in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not generally recommended as it can alter the texture, but if storing for an extended period, a sealed container in the refrigerator can be used, bringing it to room temperature before serving.
