Storage Time
Store at room temperature for 2-3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, and frozen for up to 3 months.
Temperature
Best stored at room temperature (18-22°C) if consumed within a few days, or refrigerated (0-4°C) for longer shelf life.
Freezing
Lemon pound cake freezes beautifully! Ensure the cake is completely cooled. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, followed by a layer of aluminum foil or place it in an airtight freezer-safe container. To thaw, unwrap the cake and let it come to room temperature on a wire rack for several hours. For best quality, consume within 3 months.
Signs of Spoilage
- Visible mold growth, especially on the surface or in crevices.
- A sour or off odor that is distinctly different from its usual citrusy aroma.
- A gummy or excessively moist texture, indicating potential bacterial growth or staleness.
