How to Store Castella Cake Properly
The beauty of a good Castella sponge cake is that it actually improves in texture after resting. The cake becomes slightly denser and even more moist the day after baking making it perfect for advance preparation.
- Room Temperature: Wrap the cooled cake tightly in parchment paper and plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate wrapped cake for up to 5 days. Bring to room temperature before serving to regain its soft texture.
- Freezing: Slice the cake, wrap each piece in parchment and then plastic wrap. Freeze in a zip top bag for up to 1 month. Thaw slices at room temp before serving.
