Scotch Bun

This cake actually improves with age. Once completely cooled, wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then aluminum foil, and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. The flavors meld and the texture becomes more cohesive after 2-3 days. For best flavor, make at least 1 day ahead.

Store the completely cooled cake wrapped tightly in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, wrap in plastic wrap and then aluminum foil and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight at room temperature before serving. The high sugar and dried fruit content act as natural preservatives.
