Funnel Cake

A funnel cake is a popular dessert enjoyed at carnivals, county fairs and boardwalks. Made from a simple batter of eggs, milk, and flour stirred with sugar and vanilla extract, this sweet treat is fried to crispy perfection and often dusted with powdered sugar. The name comes from the distinctive method used to form the batter into a circular, lattice-like structure while frying. With its light, crispy texture and sweet taste, Funnel cake is a comforting and indulgent treat loved by kids and adults alike. Traditionally enjoyed hot from the fryer, it can also be served with a range of toppings including fruit, whipped cream, or chocolate for an added touch of decadence.

Expiration & Storage Tips
When does Funnel Cake expire?
A homemade funnel cake, when left at room temperature, will stay fresh for about 1-2 days. However, if refrigerated, it can last up to a week. If frozen, it can be stored for up to 3 months. Once it's defrosted, consume within 1-2 days for the best taste and texture.
How do you tell if Funnel Cake is bad?
You should discard the funnel cake if it has a stale smell, shows any signs of mold, or if it has been left out for more than 2 hours at room temperature. Generally, if the funnel cake does not taste fresh, it might be best to throw it away.
Tips for storing Funnel Cake to extend shelf life
• Store leftover funnel cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator to extend its shelf life. • If you won't consume it within a week, freeze the funnel cake. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil or a freezer bag. • When defrosting, allow it to thaw in the refrigerator instead of room temperature to avoid moisture buildup and bacterial growth. • To reheat funnel cake, warm it in the oven at a low temperature rather than the microwave to retain its crispness. • Always cool down a freshly made funnel cake before storing it to prevent moisture buildup, which can lead to early spoilage.
