Just a thought, you could monkey around with a bananas Foster recipe
and drizzle it over each slice as a warm sauce.

@@@@@ Now You're Cooking! Export Format

Bananas Foster

desserts

1/2 cup dark brown sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
zest of 1 lemon
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
4 bananas
1/4 cup banana liqueur
1/3 cup rum
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 pint vanilla ice cream

Peel and halve bananas lengthwise. Melt brown sugar and butter
together over medium heat. Add lemon zest and cook for 2 minutes. Add
cinnamon and bananas and cook on low heat for 5 to 7 minutes, spooning
sugar mixture over bananas. Combine banana liquor, rum and lemon juice
and heat in microwave for 40 seconds, pour over bananas and sugar
mixture in the pan at the table and ignite. Stir until the flames die.
Serve over vanilla ice cream.

Yes, we have no bananas any more. :-)
Thanks for the thought.
I made a cream cheesey buttercreamy frosting with lemon juice and zest.
Then, because I couldn't whittle down to one choice beyond that, left
1/3 of the top plain, 1/3 covered with toasted shredded coconut, and 1/3
covered with chopped black walnuts. It's pretty good. ;-)

I did not want to seem presumptuous, but my first thought was serving
the cake warm & plain, with a nice cup of coffee or perhaps a glass of
cream sherry

:-) That does sound good, Joseph, but was not practical at the time.

Now that's a tasty compromise!!! Did you take any photos of the
finished cake before and after it was cut, by chance?

Lemon cream cheese buttercream with chopped black walnuts atop 1/3, and
toasted shredded coconut atop another 1/3. It's good.
