How do you keep a cake moist for a week? ›

When left out at room temperature without any covering, a baked cake—even a frosted cake—dries out quickly. A better way to store cake is to cover it in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. This seals in moisture and prevents air from drying out the cake. Store cupcakes in an airtight container.

Yes, we recommend prepping Bundt® and cakes pan with *BAKING SPRAY, which is a spray that has flour in it already, such as “Baker's Joy” or “Pam for Baking.” For pans with intricate designs, a baking spray works well to get into all the nooks and crannies.

Do you flip a bundt cake as soon as it comes out of the oven? ›

What is the difference between a fluted tube pan and a bundt pan? ›

How do you moisten a dry bundt cake? ›

Should you cover a cake with foil or Saran Wrap? ›

Store cakes loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. To loosely cover, place aluminum foil, plastic wrap or waxed paper over the cake without sealing the edges so air can circulate. Cool unfrosted cakes completely before covering and storing to keep the top from getting sticky.

Should I refrigerate a bundt cake? ›

Cake Care

  3. Once cake is removed from the refrigerator, carefully remove plastic wrap or cellophane and all decoration.
  4. Cut your cake and enjoy!
  5. Cake will keep in your refrigerator for up to 5 days.
