Can This Strawberry Cream Cheese Coffee Cake be Made Ahead of Time?

  • Yes, you can make this cake ahead of time!  It tastes delicious fresh out of the oven but even better on the next day after it has been warmed slightly.
  • Store it covered at room temperature or in the fridge if you want to keep it longer. It will keep fresh for 2-3 days, but don’t count on it!  It’s gonna go fast!
