Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Butter Cake expire?
Freshly baked butter cake can typically last for about 1 week at room temperature, if properly covered and stored in an airtight container. If you keep the butter cake in the refrigerator, it can stay good for about 2 weeks. On the other hand, if you prefer to freeze the butter cake (either whole or in slices), it can last between 4 to 6 months.
How do you tell if Butter Cake is bad?
If the butter cake has gone bad, it will most likely have a stale smell and taste. The texture may become dry and crumbly, and it might even start to develop mold. If you spot mold or if the cake doesn't smell or taste right, it's time to throw it out.
Tips for storing Butter Cake to extend shelf life
• Always allow the butter cake to cool completely before you cover or store it. This prevents condensation from making it soggy. • Store your butter cake at room temperature in an airtight container or tightly covered with plastic wrap to keep it fresh longer. • If you want to store butter cake in the refrigerator, wrap it in plastic wrap and then store in an airtight container. For freezing, wrap it well in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil. • Where possible, cutting the cake into individual slices before freezing can save you from defrosting the whole cake when you only want a piece. To defrost, simply leave the cake (or slice) at room temperature for a few hours or overnight in the refrigerator.
