How to keep the rest
To keep any leftover cake fresh, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or place it in an airtight container. Store it at room temperature if it will be consumed within a day or two. For longer storage, refrigerate the cake to maintain its freshness and prevent it from drying out. Ensure the frosting is protected from becoming too hard in the refrigerator.
