Hi, can I leave this cake out of the fridge ? I worry putting it in fridge will make it go hard! And it’s for a birthday tomorrow so I don’t want to risk it. It tastes great by the way! Very rich but just what my partner likes so he’s happy! 😊 will it be fine covered for the night?
You can leave the cake out of the fridge, of course, what you can do is to simply add the frosting the next day, few time before serving. Enjoy and Happy Birthday! You can also refrigerate and let it get to room temperature for about 20 minutes before serving.
