In reply to Rachelle R.. Hi Rachelle! I do tend to refrigerate my cakes but it will also be fine at room temp for a couple days. Note that the buttercream will be quite soft if left out though.

Hi there! This looks and sounds delicious. I’m curious about storage and I apologize if I missed it. Can this sit out at room temperature the day of or does it have to be refrigerated?

This is a favorite cake requested by friends and family. I’ve even been asked to make it for a wedding cake! I just recently made it for Christmas Eve. Everyone loves it.

In reply to Olivia. I too only use light colored pans (Fat Daddio and USA Pans) and also use the cake strips. Yes I understand baking times are only a guideline but they typically vary by 2-5 minutes, not 20. I checked several of your recipes for 8" cakes and they mostly all say 30-35 minutes which is what I would expect, not 50-55. I brought it up in my review because others may not expect that much variance either.

Hi Carrie! So glad you and your guests loved it. Baking times are just a guideline as every oven bakes differently and the type of cake pans will make a difference too. I use light colored pans and baking strips (https://livforcake.com/flat-top-cakes/) which makes my cakes take longer to bake. I do recommend checking on the cakes as they are baking.

This cake is really good, all of my guests loved it so I will definitely make it again. However, I was skeptical about the 50-55 minute bake time – I have never had a cake take that long to bake so I took it out at 33 minutes and an so glad I did. I can only imagine how dry/dense it would have been had I left it in for the full time. I will probably pull it out at 30 minutes next time.

This cake is as delicious as beautiful. I’ve even been asked to make it as a wedding cake. Show stopper.
