Q: <strong>Does Maple Carrot Cake need Refrigeration?</strong>

Yes, because of the cream cheese frosting in the recipe, this cake needs to be refrigerated. It should be stored in an airtight container or under a cake dome. For best flavor and texture, we recommend removing the cake from the refrigerator 2-3 hours before serving. This gives the cake time to warm and soften.

Question 3

Can Maple Carrot Cake Layers be frozen?

Accepted Answer

Yes! As with most of our cakes (from yellow cake to marble cake, almond cake and more), the layers for this recipe can be made in advance in frozen. After turning out the freshly baked layers, allow to cool.

Once they are just slightly warm or have cooled to room temperature, you can wrap each layer individually in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil. (For extra support, we often place the cake layer on a foil-wrapped cake board before wrapping the layer.)

To Thaw: Move the wrapped layers from the freezer to the kitchen counter and let them sit for 30-45 minutes before removing the wrapping. T

hen, allow to thaw to desired amount for assembling the cake. (Bakers often like to assemble their cake when the layers are still partially frozen, as they are less fragile.)
