Yes, Italian cream cake should be stored in the fridge. The cream cheese frosting and the moist cake layers need to stay cool to stay fresh and safe to eat. After baking and cooling, wrap it well in plastic wrap or keep it in an airtight container. This will help keep it fresh and delicious for your party!

Yes, Italian cream cake should be stored in the fridge because of the cream cheese frosting! You can keep it at room temp for a few hours during the party, but refrigerating it helps keep it fresh longer. Just cover it tightly so it doesn’t dry out. Enjoy your party!
