Angel food cake, a light and airy confection, is best enjoyed fresh. Proper storage is key to preserving its delicate texture and sweet flavor, ensuring every slice remains a delightful treat.

Storage Time

Angel food cake is best stored at room temperature for 1-2 days, or refrigerated for up to 3-4 days. For longer preservation, it can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.

Temperature

Store at room temperature (18-22°C) or refrigerated (0-4°C).

Freezing

To freeze angel food cake, ensure it is completely cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. This prevents freezer burn and maintains its delicate crumb. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving for optimal texture and flavor.

Signs of Spoilage

• Visible mold growth on the surface.
• A sour or off odor, distinct from its usual sweet aroma.
• A gummy or overly moist texture, indicating staleness or spoilage.
