    Frequently asked questions, answers and tips:

    Does this cake need to be refrigerated?

    Once the cake has been cooled, store it in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap or foil.

    How to reheat this cake.

    I scoop a portion into a microwave safe bowl and microwave on high for 2 minute. Be careful for hot spots in the cake.

    Cake mix tips:

    Sprinkle the cake mix over the fruit and do not press it down. By pressing it you can form a crust and not allow the cake mix to fully hydrate leaving dry cake mix on the surface.

        This is one of my favorite cake recipes. I am a widow, when I make this, I share it with friends and neighbors.

        I would make and bake it up to 2 days in advance of serving. I would not make it without baking it.

        Can this cake be made 2 days in advance?
