Notes

- To Store. Store cake leftovers in an airtight container or cover them. They can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Freezing. You can freeze the cake with or without the fudge icing, but sometimes the icing doesn't hold up well when thawed. If you're planning to freeze the cake ahead, I suggest skipping the icing until the day before serving and adding it over the thawed cake.
