Are you supposed to store a baked cake in the refrigerator?

It is not recommended to store a baked cake in the refrigerator immediately.

* Refrigerators are designed to maintain low temperatures and high humidity, which can alter the texture and taste of the cake causing it to become dry and hard.

* Cakes should be allowed to cool completely at room temperature before being stored.

* Properly cooled cakes can be stored in airtight containers at room temperature for up to 2 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
