Freshly baked coffee cake will keep well for about 1 week in the fridge when properly stored; when refrigerating, cover with foil or plastic wrap to prevent cake from drying out.

Is cake good after 7 days?

The shelf life of cake depends on its preparation method and how it is stored. Typically, a cake can last up to four days without going bad or stale. When stored in the fridge, it can last up to 5 or 7 days. Frozen cake lasts longer but is best consumed after 2 to 3 months in the freezer.

How long can a homemade cake stay fresh?

Typically, a cake will only stay fresh for up to three or four days before the moisture is drawn out and the texture becomes drier. A cake can last in a fridge for a little bit longer if it has been frosted as the frosting keeps the moisture in the sponge.
