Notes

Be patient during the setting time; letting the cake chill overnight will yield the best texture. For variations, consider adding flavors like vanilla or chocolate for a unique spin. Always store the cake in the refrigerator and cover it tightly to maintain freshness. This cake is naturally gluten-free, making it a great option for those with dietary restrictions.
