This cake may be kept for some time. Here is a suggestion for children, big and small: Put one on top of the other (like a sandwich) one slice of cake spread with Nutella, another slice spread with butter, one slice on top. Cut in two to make 2 small triangles. Serve this cake with a nice cup of creamy hot chocolate. A perfect evening snack.
