Storing Leftovers
If you happen to have any leftover Butter Pecan Sheet Cake (though it’s unlikely with how delicious it is!), you can store it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Alternatively, you can refrigerate the cake for longer storage, though be sure to let it come to room temperature before serving for the best taste and texture.
