Yellow cake, whether homemade or store-bought, is best stored properly to maintain its moisture and flavor. For short-term storage (1-2 days), keep it at room temperature in an airtight container or wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. For longer storage (up to a week), refrigerate it, ensuring it's well-covered to prevent drying out. If you want to store it for an even longer period (1-2 months), freeze the cake, tightly wrapped in plastic wrap and then placed in a freezer bag or airtight container. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
