How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any leftover guava bar cake in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat. If you will not be consuming it within a few days, refrigeration can extend its shelf life, but allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.
