Notes
For best results, you'll need to make sure that no air can reach the cake. Either transfer slices to an airtight container or tightly wrap the entire cake in plastic wrap. Store at room temperature for 1-2 days.
FRIDGE: You can store in the fridge, but you'll want to double wrap your cake or place it into a plastic bag so that it doesn't absorb odors. Store for 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
FREEZER: For best results, slice the cake before freezing. Then wrap each slice tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow to thaw before eating.
