You can reheat the cake in the microwave by placing the cake in a microwave-safe place and heating it until the cake is warmed through.

How To Serve Cake

There’s nothing quite like the satisfying feeling of a slice of freshly baked cake. I love serving my lemon cake with fresh whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
