For an even richer flavor, consider using salted butter in the syrup. Be careful when adding the baking soda, as the mixture will foam up rapidly. Use a large saucepan to prevent overflow. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence. Store leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
