Reheat Baked Caked<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you purposefully baked to freeze or have unplanned leftovers, reheating baked cake properly is a skill worth mastering. The best way to do this is by using your oven\u2019s convection or forced air function. Also, baking at a lower temperature than usual will ensure that as much as possible of the moisture stays in the cake, rather than being baked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/how-long-does-cake-last-in-the-fridge\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"13301\">How long does cake stored in the fridge last?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first step when re-heating any type of cake is to make sure they are at ambient room temperature and then place them on an ungreased cookie sheet. If you don&#8217;t use parchment paper, grease the pan with butter or oil so that the cakes won&#8217;t stick together while reheating.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Simple_Steps_To_Reheating_Homemade_Cake\"><\/span><strong>Simple Steps To Reheating Homemade Cake<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Let&#8217;s talk about warming your cake if you haven&#8217;t already done so. There will be slightly different methods depending on your cake. For example, a pound cake will take slightly less time than a chocolate lava cake. If you have frosting on a cake then the frosting will melt very quickly in the microwave. For a lava cake, I would recommend using an oven, or toaster oven and for crab cakes then a microwave will be fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s something about a warm cake that makes you feel decadent, and it&#8217;s not quite the same as a room-temperature cake. So getting the right method is important, but it will take some practice for you to get it just right.&nbsp; With the right techniques and patience, you can use your microwave or oven.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-image-720\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-720x405.jpg\" alt=\"How to Reheat A Cake In The Oven - Pound Cake\" class=\"wp-image-7455\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-1168x657.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1-150x84.jpg 150w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/5-1.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption>How to Reheat A Cake In The Oven &#8211; Pound Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reheat_A_Cake_In_The_Oven\"><\/span><strong>How to Reheat A Cake In The Oven<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Warming up your cake will help restore some of the moistness and light or fluffy texture.

Microwaves can make things wet and dry. You&#8217;re going to want to be careful with timing since a perfect cake depends on the right amount of moisture being retained in the cake during the heating process. A cooked molten lava cake can actually explode from the middle if heated too long in the microwave. Whipped cream is best scooped off and replaced after the cake comes out of the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;If you are unsure I would recommend using a thermometer to check its temperature after microwaving the cake, especially the first time &#8211; because if you leave it in even a few seconds too long it can be &#8220;super hot&#8221; &#8211; and you do not want to burn your self.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the least use an oven mitt to handle the cake while in the microwave. This will help prevent burns from occurring if something happens to go wrong, or a pocket of steam escapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"So_whats_the_secret_to_heating_a_cake_correctly_in_the_microwave\"><\/span>So what&#8217;s the secret to heating a cake correctly in the microwave?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Simply put less time is better.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>For smaller cakes, like a mini cupcake, or muffin set the time for 15 seconds and check the temperature. Repeat after that in 10-second bursts. Also, use this method for a cut single piece of cake.<\/li><li>If you have a larger cake start with a time of 45 seconds. It is worth noting microwaves deliver uneven heat. So after each time period alter the position of the cake it will give you a more even reheating cake result.<\/li><li>After you take it out of the microwave let it sit for 30-60 seconds.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I know when my cake is done reheating?&nbsp; Check with a probe thermometer of around 40F for a warm cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Microwaves are convenient because they heat food quickly without having to turn the stove on high. They also save energy by using less electricity compared to conventional cooking methods like baking and grilling. However, microwaving isn&#8217;t always ideal since it doesn&#8217;t allow foods to cook evenly. For example, cake tends to dry out if left in too long them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reheating_Cakes_With_Filling\"><\/span><strong>Reheating Cakes With Filling<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reheating process will be similar if your cake has a filling such as creams, fruits, or molten chocolate. However the <strong>big difference<\/strong> is the cake filling will heat up at a different &#8211; often faster rate than your cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The best advice is to take small steps and experiment. See our table below for the exact methods and times we used for different cakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reheating cakes is something that everyone does every now and again. Whether it&#8217;s because you want to eat it later, or just because you like eating warm food, there are plenty of reasons why you might choose to reheat a cake. However, if you aren&#8217;t careful, you may end up ruining your cake by overheating it.&nbsp; So take the cake heating in small steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_do_you_moisten_a_cake_after_baking_it\"><\/span><strong>How do you moisten a cake after baking it?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your cake comes out of the baking oven just a little dry what do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Or maybe your cake is a little dry before you start the reheating process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Top tip <\/strong>is to use simple syrup to add back some moisture and texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>To make the syrup &#8211; bring the saucepan to a boil with equal parts sugar and water.<\/li><li>Now to get the syrup inside the cake &#8211; poke holes in the top of your cake with a skewer.<\/li><li>Once all the syrup is absorbed into the cake, remove the pan from the heat and serve immediately.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add a dash of vanilla extract if you want a little flavor to your syrup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To decorate your cake after cooking you can certainly use powdered sugar or chocolate chips, or a spoon of whipped cream.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2.jpg\" alt=\"How To Reheat Layer Cake\" class=\"wp-image-7454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-480x270.jpg 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-640x360.jpg 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-720x405.jpg 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-960x540.jpg 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-1168x657.jpg 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/4-2-150x84.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption>How To Reheat Layer Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_long_does_Homemade_cake_last\"><\/span><strong>How long does Homemade cake last?<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I have a question about how to store cakes. I make my own from scratch and it&#8217;s always moist, but after 2-3 days the top starts getting crusty and dry. Is there anything that can be done or is this just part of baking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also try adding a little more butter or yogurt to the batter- and that will help keep the cake moist longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We used to add yogurt to our cake batter in our commercial factory and they stayed moist for a week which was their shelf life in the store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally speaking, a basic cake will stay fresh on your countertop for 2 &#8211; days but you must place it in an air-tight container or wrap it on plastic wrap. This also assumes your kitchen is not too hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with cream or custard-based filling, I find it better to keep it in the fridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the fridge, it will keep fresh for about 6 days. Again cover it with plastic wrap, or keep it in an air-tight container.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cakes can be frozen for between 4-6 months<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Defrosting_A_Cake_From_Frozen\"><\/span><strong>Defrosting A Cake From Frozen<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with a frozen cake isn&#8217;t much different from a fridge-cooled cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key thing to remember is to defrost your cake slowly so that it won\u2019t become soggy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To defrost a cake \u2013 simply pop it straight onto a plate and leave it covered overnight. Just let nature do its work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you thaw your cake, you can either serve it at room temperature or use one of the previous methods. Just like the day it was baked, it should taste fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"7468\"  src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-1024x576.png\" alt=\"How To Reheat A Funnel Cake in the Oven\" class=\"wp-image-7468\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-720x405.png 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-960x540.png 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-1168x657.png 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/8.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>How To Reheat A Funnel Cake in the Oven<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"7467\"  src=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-1024x576.png\" alt=\"How to Reheat A Funnel Cake in the Microwave\" class=\"wp-image-7467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-480x270.png 480w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-640x360.png 640w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-720x405.png 720w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-960x540.png 960w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-1168x657.png 1168w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7-150x84.png 150w, https:\/\/onepotdishrecipe.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/7.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>How to Reheat A Funnel Cake in the Microwave<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-caption\">What is the Best Way To Reheat A Funnel Cake<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Reheat_Funnel_Cake\"><\/span>How to Reheat Funnel Cake<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Funnel cakes are often served at fairs, carnivals, and crowd many people.
