Help! No Microwave = Potential Fudge Cake disaster!

Hi
We have friends coming for supper tonight.
Knowing I wasn't going to have alot of time I succumbed to buying a ready made Chocolate Fudge Cake for dessert. Only after I got home did I realise that the instructions are to keep it refridgerated and then zap in microwave for 2 1/2 mins before serving. I don't have a microwave!

I am doing cottage pie and have a double oven. The only solution I can think of is that if I do the cottage pie in the bottom oven and place the chocolate fudge cake in the top oven (not switched on, just warm from the rising heat) this would warm the cake part through, my worry with this is that the icing will melt and run off and I'll lose it.

Would this work? Or can anyone suggest a better solution please?

Cut your portions, plate them on their sides. When dinner is served, turn off the oven and put the slices in

Make sure the oven isn't too hot

The fudge will melt but will pool around the cake.

Or plate the same way and warm under a gentle grill
