You can also store in the refrigerator, but bring to room temperature before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Freeze Coffee Cake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! Coffee cake freezes beautifully. Wrap the cooled cake (whole or in slices) tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make-Ahead for Brunch:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Coffee cake is perfect for making ahead. Bake it a day before, store at room temperature, and it&#8217;ll be ready to serve. The flavors actually meld and deepen overnight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freezing Unbaked:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can assemble the entire cake in the pan, cover tightly, and freeze for up to 3 months. Bake from frozen, adding 10-15 minutes to the baking time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reviving Day-Old Coffee Cake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your coffee cake is a day or two old, warm individual slices in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. It&#8217;ll taste almost freshly baked!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wordpress.cherrychapters.com\/theflavorindex\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-1024x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1176\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-1024x1024.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-300x300.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-150x150.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-768x768.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1-1536x1536.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/17\/2026\/03\/hf_20260313_155258_b3e82b5d-43e1-462c-bba8-d677674b9c65-1.jpeg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ultimate coffee cake\u2014tender, buttery sour cream cake swirled with cinnamon sugar and topped with an abundant, buttery streusel crumb. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1172,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,26],"tags":[233,456,460,457,458,240,459],"class_list":["post-1114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-baking","category-desserts","tag-breakfast-cake","tag-cinnamon-coffee-cake","tag-cinnamon-streusel","tag-coffee-cake","tag-crumb-cake","tag-sour-cream-coffee-cake","tag-streusel-coffee-cake"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.5 -
