Question re: refrigerating coffee cake?

[Jovin]

The older I get, the more I forget. I honestly can't decide if my sour cream coffee cake has to be in the fridge after cooling or not. The fact that there's a dairy ingredient (one cup of sour cream) makes me think it's not a good idea to leave it out in an air tight container. I'm sorry to bother everyone with such a silly question, but I can't remember what I've done other times through the years after having made this recipe.

Thanks for any feedback.

I wouldn't worry about it. Think about eggs - after you've cooked them in a cake, you don't have to refrigerate it.

At my house it wouldn’t last long enough to worry. ?

I would leave it out, covered or in an airtight container.

Well, I live alone, but am expecting company in the morning. Thanks for your input. lol I try very hard NOT to eat it, too. I've tried throwing it in the freezer until I know someone's coming, but hey....anything that goes into the freezer can come out just as easily. ha ha

Thanks, I figured it would probably be okay. I appreciate the reply.

I do that with things like brownies, or those CC coconut macaroons, that I have no willpower with! I put portions in sandwich bags, then put those in gallon bags, so I only get 3 at a time. Not that I couldn't take several bags at a time.

I can't remember ever putting sour cream coffee cake in the fridge. It might last to the next day, but that's it (there's two of us).

Hi Jovin, nice to see you pop by again. Let us know if it survived - in tact - for your visitors this morning! LOL

pepper- that's exactly what I do, and yes, several at a time.

You're right. Maybe that's why I can't remember ever putting it in the fridge! lol

Well, thank you so much. Well, it DID survive and it totally got sent home with my daughter and granddaughter when they left yesterday, too. I did keep a couple of small pieces for my other daughter for when I see her tomorrow, but other than that it was a success. Why do I not remember ANYTHING anymore!

It’s time to start writing little notes in the margins of your cookbooks and recipe cards.

It may sound foolish but your children and grandchildren will cherish those handwritten notes in the years to come ?

Unfortunately they probably won't be able to read them, because I'm so disorganized I write ON the recipes and to the sides and tend to get writing all over the place each time I make that recipe. I'm a very disorganized person, but my intentions are good. lol

It will taste as fresh as just baked!

Hello MobyDick, Welcome to DC!
I guess you're in the middle of summer there. Here, we are in a deep freeze. As your initiation you are required to send us some warming sunshine!

Yes, the warming part of that request is the important part. It was sunny here today, with our high of -26°C.

That cake would get moist & sticky in the fridge.

Weather wise, we are coming out of the ground hog hole tomorrow. Heat wave but we will need furnace heat to view the Chinese weather balloon!

I find the refrigerator usually dries out baked goods. Most are better if stored at room temperature or tightly wrapped in the freezer.
