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 Cake

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.
