Welcome to the Cake Decorators Q&A

Hi,

I tried your chocolate cake recipe and was amazed at how well it froze!

I am looking for a white cake recipe which I can replicate this freezing process with. Ideally I’d like to be able to take the basic recipe and then add stuff e.g lemon zest / vanilla dependant on the requirements.

Can you suggest a recipe that you use for this?

The cake I will be using it for will not have any sort of icing covering and will be a sandwich style cake so I need a recipe that won’t be dry as a result of freezing.

Fingers crossed you can help!

Hi tea5303

Unfortunately Paul doesn’t have a white sponge recipe. However, although not a white cake, Mrs Jones has her vanilla cake recipe which is extrememly moist and light. Here is her recipe:

10’’ Round Deep Vanilla Sponge

There is no reason why any sponge cake can’t be frozen as long as it contains some fat. Fatless sponge cakes are not recommended for freezing. I can’t recommend a white sponge cake because I bake with eggs and butter which produces a yellow crumb. For white sponge cake you may need to replace all or some of the butter with vegetable shortening. and omit the egg yolks. This may have a negetive affect on the texture of the cake when frozen. Hopefully members who have made this type of cake will be able to advise better.
