How to store Gluten Free Chocolate Cake
Proper storage is key to keeping gluten-free chocolate cake fresh and delicious. Here are some tips on how to store gluten-free chocolate cake:
Room temperature: If you plan to eat the cake within a day or two, you can store it at room temperature in an airtight container. Keep it away from direct sunlight and heat.
Refrigerator: If you want to store the cake for longer than a day or two, it’s best to store it in the refrigerator. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container to prevent it from drying out.
Freezer: Gluten-free chocolate cake can also be frozen for up to three months. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, and place it in a freezer-safe container. Thaw the cake in the refrigerator before serving.
