Notes

Storage: Store in a covered cake plate at room temperature. Don't refrigerate it as it may dry out, plus the cold can dull the flavor. So if you have a covered cake plate, your cake will keep just fine for several days.
If you don’t have a covered cake plate, use a bowl, such as the bowl from your salad spinner to cover the cake.
Freezing: Let the cake cool completely. Cut the cake into individual slices, then wrap each one in plastic wrap then place them in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 1 month.
