Devil's Food Cake

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 2 months. The boiled frosting is best made the day of serving as it can crystallize upon standing, but the frosted cake can be assembled up to 1 day ahead and stored at room temperature under a cake dome.

Store the frosted cake at room temperature under a cake dome or loosely covered with plastic wrap for up to 4 days. The brown sugar and molasses keep the cake incredibly moist. Do not refrigerate, as this will dry out the cake. If frozen (unfrosted layers only), thaw overnight at room temperature before frosting and serving.
