🍪 How to Store Cakes to Keep Them Fresh Longer

Nothing is more disappointing than a cake that loses its flavour and texture after just one day. Fortunately, there are a few simple tricks to keep your homemade cakes fresh and delicious for longer.

1. Allow the Cake to Cool Completely

Never store a cake while it is still warm, as the hot steam will cause it to become soggy quickly. Wait until the cake has cooled completely before storing it.

2. Use an Airtight Container

Store the cake in an airtight container to prevent moisture and outside air from damaging its texture.

3. Line with Baking Paper or Tissue Paper

Place a layer of baking paper or tissue paper between the cakes, especially for dry cakes, to prevent them from sticking together and to keep them crisp.

4. Freeze for Longer Storage

If you want the cake to last longer than a week, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and store it in the freezer. When you want to enjoy it, simply take it out and let it sit at room temperature.

✨ This way, your homemade cake will stay fresh and ready to eat anytime, without losing its delicious flavour.

📌 Bonus tip: For soft cakes like brownies or sponge cake, add a slice of plain bread inside the container. The bread will absorb moisture and keep the cake moist longer.
