Notes

To make this recipe dairy-free, use coconut cream instead of heavy cream. For a gluten-free option, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free 1:1 baking blend. The filling can be customized with flavors like coffee or liqueurs. Store the cake tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 1 month for extended storage.
