How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining cake fresh, ensure it is tightly covered with plastic wrap or stored in an airtight container. It should be kept at room temperature away from direct sunlight or heat. If you have a large portion remaining, refrigeration can extend its freshness, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for optimal taste and texture.
