Let carrots dry overnight and top frosted cake with sweet carrot curls.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How to Store Carrot Bundt Cake<\/h2>\n<p>Cream cheese frosting needs to be stored in the refrigerator so it doesn&#8217;t spoil.

You can let it come to room temperature before serving, if you&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you freeze carrot Bundt cake?<\/h3>\n<p>Freeze an unfrosted carrot Bundt cake for up to three months.

If you have an especially intricate Bundt pan, consider using a baking spray. Don&#8217;t use cooking spray as this will leave a residue that is hard to wash off.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a quick way to soften cream cheese?<\/h3>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t have time to leave your cream cheese out for a few hours to soften, you can place the wrapped brick in a zipper-top bag, squeeze out the air and seal it. Place bag in a bowl of warm water. The cream cheese should be ready in about 15 minutes.

Try a 13&#215;9-inch pan for bars or two 9-inch round cake pans for a layer cake. Don&#8217;t overfill the pan. Leave about 1-inch of room to allow the cake to rise. Also, the cake will cook faster in a shallower pan so start checking for doneness around 25 to 30 minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My grandma was very special to me.
