How long will a baked chocolate cake last?

At room temperature:

* Frosted cake: 2 days

* Unfrosted cake: 3-4 days

In the refrigerator:

* Frosted cake: 5 days

* Unfrosted cake: 7 days

In the freezer:

* Frosted or unfrosted cake: up to 2 months

Tips:

* To prevent the cake from drying out, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

* If you're not going to eat the cake within a few days, it's best to store it in the refrigerator or freezer.

* When storing a cake with multiple layers or fillings, place a piece of parchment paper between each layer to prevent sticking.

* Cakes can be frozen whole or in slices.
