Storage & Reheating:
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply warm in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until heated through.
Variations:
- Add fresh berries or diced apples for a fruity twist.
- Substitute almond extract for vanilla for a nutty flavor.
- Use cream cheese frosting instead of powdered sugar glaze for a richer taste.
- Top with whipped cream instead of glaze for a lighter option.
- Incorporate chocolate chips for a sweet and indulgent variation.
