Storage Tips:
Store any leftover Key Lime Pie Cake Dessert in an airtight cake container or cake dome in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
To maintain the freshness and texture of the cake, cover it with plastic wrap or aluminum foil before storing it in the refrigerator.
Before serving leftover cake, allow it to come to room temperature for about 15-20 minutes to soften the frosting and restore its creamy texture.
If storing the cake for longer periods, consider wrapping individual slices tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing. Frozen cake slices can be stored for up to 1-2 months.
When ready to enjoy frozen cake slices, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight before serving. This helps prevent the cake from becoming soggy as it thaws.
