How do you store a hot cake overnight?

You can't really store a hot cake overnight and expect it to be good to eat the next day. Pancakes are best enjoyed fresh. Here's why:

* Texture: Pancakes will become soggy and rubbery overnight, as they lose moisture and the texture changes.

* Taste: The flavors will dull and the pancake will lose its freshness.

* Safety: Leaving a cooked pancake at room temperature for an extended period can be a food safety hazard. Bacteria can start to grow, potentially making you sick.

Here are some alternatives:

* Make them fresh: The best way to enjoy a pancake is to make it fresh, right before you eat it.

* Reheat: If you have leftovers, you can reheat them in a toaster oven, microwave, or skillet to get a crispy texture.

* Freeze them: You can freeze cooked pancakes individually for later use. To reheat frozen pancakes, simply place them in the toaster or microwave.

Pro tip: To prevent pancakes from sticking to the pan, use a nonstick pan and spray it with cooking spray before each pancake.
