HOW TO STORE CARROT CAKE LEFTOVERS
It is a tasty cake and I know you want to store it to enjoy it for the long term. If you want to store it you need to know that the outer layer of frosting is thin and when you put it into the fridge to store it becomes dry. To store it firstly keep it in the refrigerator to make the froasting hard. When it’s done put it into a ziplock bag and store it for a month. You can also store it for 2 or 3 days by keeping it in the fridge. If you have a large portion of leftover cake you can use the same method of freezing. But if you have just 2 to 3 slices keep it in an airtight box and keep it in the fridge for 2 days.
