What is the best way to loosen a cake from the pan?
To ensure the cake comes out of the pan easily without breaking it, use a cake release tool or a plastic knife, or a thin-edged spatula and run it around the edges for easy removal.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Prepare the cake layers up to 24 hours in advance. Let them cool in their cake pans at room temperature. After cooling, loosely cover them with plastic wrap and store them at room temperature in a low-humidity environment.
Make the whipped cream filling and assemble your Himmelstorte preferably within 2 hours of serving the cake.
- To Refrigerate: Cover any leftover cake and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Freezing: We do not recommend freezing this cake, as the meringue is quite fragile and the moisture could damage it when thawing.
