Does your cake goo need to be refrigerated? If not how long does it last?

Excelente receta, gracias por compartir. A 400 °F tomo menos de 10 min pues las hice en formato mini. La consistencia es de torta, voy a cambiar a canela o rayadura de limón como sugeriste. Quedan hermosaaass, redondas excelente para decorar. Super contenta con esta receta. Saludos cordiales desde Venezuela. Te sigo en español o en Inglés pero muy considerado traducir al Español. Bendiciones y besos
