How to Freeze a Black Forest Cake
Black Forest cake is a sweet, rich German dessert. This type of cake is traditionally covered in whipped cream, chocolate shavings and cherries. Because of its elegant appearance, it is a popular choice of cake for celebrations and special events. Like most other types of cake, it can be baked ahead of time and stored for later use. When prepared properly, a Black Forest cake can be frozen and stored for up to four months.
Things You'll Need
- Freezer wrap
- Tape
- Container
Instructions
-
Wait for the cake to cool down to room temperature after it is finished baking.
-
Wrap the cake in freezer wrap two times. A double-wrap helps keep the cake protected from freezer burn. If the frosting is already on it, you may have to wrap it loosely to preserve the appearance of the frosting.
-
Place the cake in a sturdy container. The container must be both wider and taller than the cake. Cakes remain moderately soft in a freezer, so you must use a container to protect the cake from damage.
-
Remove the cake at least six hours before you are ready to use it. Let it thaw out at room temperature.
