How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining cake fresh, ensure it is stored in its original packaging or an airtight container. It should be kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigeration is not typically necessary unless the ambient temperature is very high, but if refrigerated, allow it to come to room temperature before serving for optimal texture.
