How to keep the rest
To maintain freshness, store any leftover cake in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid direct sunlight or excessive heat. If you need to store it for a longer period, refrigeration is an option, though it may slightly alter the texture. Ensure the container is well-sealed to prevent the cake from drying out.
