I love freezing food. We freeze main dishes, vegetables, fruit, and casseroles, but we often forget about freezing baked goods.
I freeze everything and anything that can be safely frozen including baked goods.
Making these treats ahead of time and freezing them allows for easy and delicious food for last-minute company or taking a meal to a friend.
This cake is a perfect freeze for later kind of treat. I will often make this cake ahead of time and then when it’s time to serve I will whip up the delicious cinnamon icing to spread on top. You just have to take the cake out of the freezer 24 hours ahead of time and then boom. A super quick and delicious homemade baked good ready to serve!
The key to moist baked goods is a process called flash freezing. As soon as this cake is done baking stick it in the freezer for 45 minutes.
Bon appetit!

It was a wonderful cake – very moist and surprisingly light!! Loved the icing too. My glass pan did not shatter, but I was a bit nervous about it. I was very gentle and put on a pad in the freezer.
Marylaine, thank you for sharing! I am so glad you liked it.
Why do you immediately put cake in freezer? If the cake is baked in glass dish won’t it break?
It helps retain the moisture. Makes the cake extra moist and delicious! This flash freezing process is great with muffins too. In the winter months I put it outside on the back porch to cool. In the warmer months I put it right in my freezer on a pad. Not great for electricity bills, but I have never had a glass pan shatter doing this. I use anchor hocking freezer/microwave safe glass dishes. That might make a difference. Great question.
