Bolu is one of the cakes that is very popular with many people, because of its soft texture and sweet taste. This cake is often a favorite choice for various events, from birthday parties to family gatherings. The combination of simple ingredients such as eggs, sugar, flour, and butter processed with the right technique produces a soft and tempting bolu .
However, although its deliciousness makes many people want to always keep it at home, there are challenges in storing sponge cake to keep it delicious and fresh. One of the main problems in storing sponge cake is its relatively short shelf life. Sponge cake that is stored for too long tends to lose its softness, so it becomes dry and loses its original taste.
This problem is usually caused by the hygroscopic nature of sponge cake, which easily absorbs moisture from the surrounding air. Therefore, knowing the right way to store it is very important to maintain the quality of the sponge cake. To keep the sponge cake soft and fresh, proper storage is the main key.
But if you are confused about storing the cake so that it lasts longer, there are other ways that can be done to extend its shelf life. This was once shared by a YouTube user yu sitie chanel. Through one of her uploads, she admitted that she actually changed the soft cake into dry bread so that it would last longer.
Well, this drying process does not use special tools such as ovens or air fryers. Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube yu sitie chanel on Sunday (15/9), the tool used is a rice cooker. So this rice cooker can make the cake dry, but the taste does not change and remains delicious, you know.

Well, leave the rice cooker in an open condition. But cover the top of the rice cooker with a dry cloth. After that, let the cake sit in this condition for 1-2 days. The hot temperature in the rice cooker will make the cake dry. "If there are a lot of bread, you need to turn it over so that it doesn't stick together," said YouTube yu sitie chanel.
