How Long Does Chocolate Cake Last in the Fridge? A traditional chocolate cake made from scratch will stay fresh and soft in the fridge for about 2-3 days. If you use the pectin trick that I describe in this blog post, you can extend the shelf life of baked goods and they will last 5-7 days or longer!

In general, chocolate cake purchased from a store can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 5 days provided it is stored properly. However, based on the conditions discussed above, certain cakes may have a shorter shelf life while others may have a longer one.

For example, a cake made with fresh fruit will only last a few days, while a cake made with dried fruit can last up to a week. Similarly, a cake that is stored in a cool, dry place will last longer than a cake that is stored in a warm, humid environment. In general, most cakes will last 3-5 days when stored properly.

Biscuits will stay fresh for at least a week after opening. Make sure you put them in an air tight biscuit tin or at least seal off the end of the packet and tape down the end. You can of course put chocolate biscuits in the fridge during the summer.
