Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer several minutes or until noodles are done.

This is a good cake for slicing into sections to make layered desserts. In a large glass container, stack a layer of the sliced cake, a layer of fruit and syrup (such as strawberries), a layer of ice cream or Cool Whip, etc. Layer decoratively so that it can be seen from the outside of the container and the dessert may be used as a centerpiece. Refrigerate until ready to use (at least 1 hour).
