Can You Freeze Coffee Cake?

Yes, you can freeze coffee cake if you wish to save it for a future day. Just wrap it in aluminum foil or freezer wrap. A Ziploc freezer bag will also do. If frozen correctly, the coffee cake will last two to three months. To thaw, simply set it on your counter overnight, and it will be ready by morning.

Can I Leave Coffee Cake Out Overnight?

If you don’t consume all of your coffee cake in one sitting, you can easily leave the coffee cake out overnight. I recommend storing it in an airtight container or covering it with saran wrap. Coffee cake usually keeps for a few days before the sugar and butter mixture on top starts seeping into the cake layers.
