Storage and Make-Ahead Tips
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days or refrigerate for up to five days. If you prefer to make it ahead, bake the cake and store it without the caramel topping, then add the caramel just before serving for the freshest taste.
You can also freeze individual slices wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored in a freezer-safe container for up to two months. Simply thaw at room temperature and warm slightly before serving.
