Storage Time

3–4 days at room temperature, 5–7 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months frozen

Temperature

Store unfrosted cake at room temperature (18–22°C) in an airtight container. Refrigerate frosted cake to maintain freshness and prevent spoilage.

Freezing

To freeze red velvet cake, ensure it is completely cooled. Wrap individual slices or the entire cake tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil or a freezer-safe airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator for the best texture, or at room temperature for a few hours. Freezing may slightly alter the texture of the frosting, especially cream cheese frosting.

Signs of Spoilage

Mold growth on the surface or frosting.
A sour or off smell, distinct from its usual sweet aroma.
A sticky, slimy texture, or a dry, crumbly texture indicating staleness.
