Storage Tips

I love making Devil’s Food Donuts, and keeping them fresh is a must! Here are some tips to make sure they stay delicious.

• Cool Completely: Let the donuts cool to room temperature. Storing them warm can make them soggy. 🥯
• Airtight Containers: Use an airtight container to keep them fresh, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil. This prevents them from drying out.
• Refrigeration: If you want to keep the donuts for more than a day, pop them in the fridge. They can stay fresh for about 3-5 days.
• Freezing: Need to store them longer? Freeze the donuts! Just make sure they are well wrapped. They can last up to 2 months in the freezer. ❄️
• Thawing: When you’re ready to enjoy them, let the donuts sit at room temp for a few hours, or give them a quick warm-up in the microwave. 🍴

Remember to label your storage containers with the date to keep track of freshness. Storing your donuts right means more delicious bites later! 🎉
