Storage
The completed cake should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. I like it best served at room temperature, so remove it from the fridge 1-2 hours before serving.
Make Ahead Tips
You can prepare carrot cake a day ahead of time and wrap the unfrosted layer of cake in plastic wrap and store at room temperature overnight. The frosting can also be prepared a day ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator overnight. Let the frosting sit at room temperature for 15 minutes before decorating the cake.
Freezing
You can freeze this cake unfrosted. Bake according to the instructions, then once it has cooled completely wrap the cake in 2-3 layers of plastic wrap. Place inside a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. When you’re ready to serve, move the cake to the refrigerator to thaw and then frost as directed above.
