Question 11

Tips for storing Pistachio Cake to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

• Store your Pistachio Cake in a cake box or an airtight container to keep it from drying out and absorbing other odors from the fridge.

• If you have a cake stand with a cover, that's another great storage option for a quick and easy access while maintaining freshness.

• If you opt for freezing, wrap individual slices in plastic wrap then in a layer of aluminum foil before placing into a freezer-safe container. This not only protects the cake from freezer burn, but also allows you to easily take out a slice or two as needed.

• Always defrost frozen slices in the refrigerator first before leaving it out at room temperature for an hour so that it can regain its original texture.
