This cake is best the day it’s made but you can store any leftovers tightly wrapped at room temperature for another day. Or simply chill for up to 5 days (just make sure you reheat in the oven before serving). Got a little more time? Try this pretty German Apple Cake for an equally delicious fall treat.
