Notes
You can make the cake a day or two in advance. Cover tightly with plastic wrap once cool until you're ready to serve it.
Leftover cake can be stored at room temperature for a few days, or even longer in the refrigerator. Cover it tightly before storing. You can also freeze it, tightly wrapped, for up to two months.
Want to add nuts? Stir in ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts to the cake batter. You could also sprinkle them on top while the glaze is still wet.
