Is this cake served warm like a pudding? and can it be served with custard? Will it keep for 3 days in an air tight container? Thanks

Hi Paula,

You can serve it warm or cold, however you like. Try topping it with French Vanilla ice cream! It should keep for several days in the refrigerator, but would be best served straight from the oven.

I did this recipe and added chopped pecans with the sugar cinnamon, butter topping... then served from the oven as CM said, with the French Vanilla Ice Cream... Pure heaven. Everyone asked for the recipe.
