Notes
Storage and Freezing
Wrap the coffee cake tightly with plastic wrap, place it in an airtight container, and store it at room temperature for 1-2 days or in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
Freeze the coffee cake by wrapping it tightly in plastic wrap and placing it in a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 2-3 months.
When ready to enjoy, thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature.
Cut the cake into individual slices before wrapping it in plastic and placing it into a freezer storage bag for easier serving and thawing if frozen.
To enjoy the coffee cake at its best, reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven before serving. This helps to restore the cake's texture and enhances its flavors.
