Notes
- For a Peanut Butter Lover’s Version, add a layer of peanut butter cups or swirl peanut butter into the whipped cream.
- Chocolate Fudge Sauce can be drizzled over the whipped cream for extra decadence.
- Berry Delight: Fresh raspberries or strawberries make a colorful and tangy contrast.
- Store leftover cake in the fridge for up to 3 days. It’s best served cold, and reheating is not recommended.
