Let it cool down and serve cut into squares or rectangles like in the photos, it’s the traditional way.
Notes
This is a big cake so make sure you use either a big mould or two. I used a large rectangular pyrex dish (25 cm x 19 cm x 5 cm), which turned out to be too small, it still turned out great) and it pulled right out when ready but you can prepare it straight into a disposable foil tin for example if you are taking somewhere.
