Freezing and storage
Storage:
Refrigeration: If you plan to eat the cake within a few days, you can store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The cake should last for about 3-5 days in the fridge.
Room Temperature: If you want to store it at room temperature, it should be fine for about 1-2 days in an airtight container. However, since it contains fresh banana and egg, refrigeration is safer.
Freezing:
Freezing the Cake: The cake should freeze well. Make sure to let it cool completely before wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. You can also place it in a freezer-safe container or a ziplock bag. It should last in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Thawing: When you’re ready to eat the frozen cake, you can thaw it by placing it in the refrigerator overnight. Alternatively, you can let it sit at room temperature for a few hours. If you prefer, you can warm it up in the microwave or oven after thawing to enjoy a fresh-baked taste.
