Question 8

How should I store leftover Caramel Cake?

Accepted Answer

Leftover Caramel Cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze the cake for up to 3 months, but be sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil.

Question 9

When does Caramel Cake expire?

Accepted Answer

An unopened store-bought caramel cake that's kept in a refrigerator can last up to about one week past the printed expiration date. Once opened, however, it's best to consume this within 2-3 days. If it is a homemade caramel cake, it tends to have a slightly lesser shelf-life than the store-bought counterparts, lasting for about 2-4 days when refrigerated. If you're storing your cake in the freezer, you're in luck as a frozen caramel cake can extend its life substantially for about 2-3 months.

Question 10

How do you tell if Caramel Cake is bad?

Accepted Answer

Telling if a caramel cake has gone bad isn't a herculean task, even if you are a novice in the kitchen. Start by inspecting the cake visually. If you notice any mold or discoloration, it's a clear sign that the cake is bad. If it looks good, then give it a sniff. If it has an off smell, like something sour or a bit 'off', it's likely bad. Lastly, if your cake has turned exceptionally dry or overly moist, it might have turned.

Question 11

Tips for storing Caramel Cake to extend shelf life

Accepted Answer

Here are some handy tips to safely store your caramel cake and extend its life:
        
• Refrigerate your caramel cake within two hours of baking/buying it. This will keep it fresh and safe, and prevent any bacterial growth.

• Freeze it if you don't plan to consume it soon. Make sure to wrap it properly in plastic wrap, then foil, before placing it in a resealable plastic freezer bag.

• Store your cake in a cake container to keep it from drying out. If you don't have a cake container, use a large mixing bowl turned upside down.

• Avoid storing your cake near strong-smelling foods. This will prevent odor absorption.

• Remember, refrigerating and freezing only slow down, but don't stop, bacterial growth. Always check your cake before eating!
