I remember being ecstatic when I made cake batter from scratch for the very first time. Learning how to store my cake batter, though, has saved me a lot of time throughout the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general rule, store cake batter in a mixing bowl covered with plastic wrap inside the fridge for a day or two. Cover the mixing bowl airtight while releasing as much air as possible from inside the mixing bowl with your hand. This prevents oxidation of the cake batter over time.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n There are different types of cake batters that are created on a daily basis. Some are simple and some are complex. Cake batters can be very fragile so knowing which cake batter you can store and which you can’t is important knowledge for any baker to have. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is important to know whether or not cake batters can be left out and for how long, if it is a good idea to freeze cake batters or not, and most importantly for how long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Even though cake batter can be stored in the fridge and in the freezer, cake batter by itself does not last a long time. Most cake batter ingredients such as eggs and milk can quickly spoil if left out for too long. Cake batter also contains leavening ingredients which can expire with time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a rule, cake batters usually must have one or two leavening ingredients in them. I always use either baking powder or baking soda in my batters which are considered dry ingredients<\/strong>. Sometimes I even use them both!<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow Long Does Cake Batter Last<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
