How to store frosted cake

If you are lucky enough to have leftovers, you will want to put the cake in the fridge for 15 minutes for the frosting to harden before wrapping it up.

Once the frosting hardens, cover the entire cake with plastic wrap. It can last up to 3-4 days in the fridge, but it is so delicious I'm sure it won't last that long. I know I want to eat the entire thing in one sitting.

Before serving, allow the cake to get to room temperature if desired.

Can you freeze this cake?

Yes, this tasty cake can last up to 3 months in the freezer. Be sure to wrap it in plastic wrap tightly twice to ensure it will not get freezer burn.
