Notes

This cake is best served chilled. For a lighter version, substitute half the sugar with a sugar alternative and use low-fat cream cheese. It’s perfect for special occasions, pairing wonderfully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. To keep the cake moist, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
