Cake Ingredients
The ingredients for a cake can vary depending on personal preferences and tastes. However, some essential components include all-purpose flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, butter, milk, eggs (with yolks and whites separated), lemon, and vanilla extract.
How Long Does a Cake Last?
At room temperature (around 20 – 40 degrees Celsius), a cake can last for about 2-5 hours. Beyond this timeframe, the cake is highly likely to spoil. With careful observation, you’ll notice that the frosting on the cake’s surface is no longer smooth and has puffed up, and the inner layers may turn sour in severe cases. Even when stored in a cool refrigerator, a cake’s lifespan is only extended to approximately 2 days.
Tips for Longer Cake Preservation
Never wrap a cake immediately after baking. If the cake is still warm, it’s producing moisture, and wrapping it will lead to mold and quicker spoilage. Wait for the cake to cool down completely before sealing it with food-grade plastic wrap.
Once wrapped, store the cake in a cool, dry place at room temperature. If the room is too warm, you can refrigerate it for a few days, ensuring the cake is tightly wrapped and separated from other foods to prevent odor absorption, as sponge cakes are particularly susceptible to absorbing odors.
If you’ve cut into the cake and want to extend the lifespan of the remaining portion, use a sandwich bread slice to cover the cut surface, securing it with toothpicks. Replace the bread slice with a fresh one when it dries out, or use a thin plastic sheet instead.
