Notes

Feel free to customize the cake mix flavor for different occasions; spice cake mix can add an autumnal touch. Store in the refrigerator if not consumed right away, and it can last up to five days. This cake can be frozen for up to three months; just reheat in the microwave or oven. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert experience!
