Half cake

To store leftover half cake, allow it to cool completely, then place it in an airtight container. You can keep it at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate it for up to a week. For longer storage, consider freezing the pieces, wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and then placing them in a freezer-safe bag.
