5. Chill and top:
- Cover and refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours, preferably longer, so the flavors meld and the cake absorbs all the goodness.

Pro Tips

- Let it chill overnight: The longer it sits, the more flavor soaks into the cake.

- Add texture: For a fun twist, sprinkle chopped almonds on top to channel Almond Joy vibes.
