Then, pour the hot icing on on top of the warm cake and spread it evenly with a spatula.

Allow the frosting to set for 20-30 and then cut slices and enjoy. It will be slightly warm and ooey gooey. If you prefer your icing to set firmer, let the frosted cake continue cooling further at room temperature for ⏱️ 1-2 hours or you can chill in the fridge for ⏱️ 45 minutes- ⏱️ 1 hour.
