How do you freeze cakes?

1. Bake your cake as directed and let it cool completely.

Once your cake is completely cool, wrap it in plastic wrap and place it in the freezer.

2. Don't slice the cake before freezing it.

Slicing the cake before freezing it will compromise its texture. The cake will be easier to slice once it's thawed.

3. Don't cover the cake with frosting before freezing it.

Frosting will expand when frozen and ruin your cake. Wait to frost the cake until after it's thawed.

4. Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours.

This will ensure that the cake is frozen all the way through.

5. When ready to serve, let the cake thaw overnight in the refrigerator or at room temperature for several hours.

To speed up the thawing process, you can place the cake in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on low power for 30 seconds at a time, checking frequently.
