Notes
Store any leftovers in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. This cake is easiest to store in a rigid container rather than wrapping with plastic.
To freeze - assemble the cake on a freezer-safe baking pan or dish. Place the cake and pan, uncovered, in the freezer for 24 hours. Remove the frozen cake from the pan and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by a layer of aluminum foil. Place the wrapped cake in a sturdy container and freeze for up to 3 months.
