Can you freeze cake mix after its made?

You can freeze cake batter after it's made, but it's not recommended to freeze a cake mix that is already prepared and ready to bake. Here's why:

Freezing Cake Batter:

* Pros: It saves time and effort. You can whip up a batch of batter and freeze it for later use.

* Cons: The texture might be slightly altered, and it may not rise as high as freshly made batter.

* How to do it:

* Pour the batter into a freezer-safe container or bag.

* Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the batter to prevent ice crystals from forming.

* Label the container with the date and contents.

* Freeze for up to 3 months.

* Thaw the batter in the refrigerator overnight before baking.

Freezing Baked Cake:

* Pros: It's a great way to preserve cake for later.

* Cons: Freezing can sometimes cause the texture of the cake to become dry.

* How to do it:

* Let the cake cool completely.

* Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, then in aluminum foil.

* Freeze for up to 3 months.

* Thaw the cake in the refrigerator overnight.

Important Note: You can't freeze a cake mix that's already been combined with water and other ingredients and is ready to bake. The mix would turn into a solid block of ice.

If you need to save a cake mix, it's better to store it unopened in the pantry.
