Chocolate Cake No. 2

The unfrosted cake layers can be wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and stored at room temperature for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw frozen layers at room temperature before frosting. The meringue-style frosting should be made fresh and used immediately, as it does not store well.

Store frosted cake under a cake dome or loosely covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. The egg white-based frosting will weep and deteriorate in the refrigerator. This cake is best enjoyed within 24 hours of assembly.
