Q: Can the Banana Cake Layers be Frozen?

Yes! Just as with most of our cakes, (from almond cake to carrot cake , Italian Cream Cake and more), the banana cake layers can be frozen for up to three months when wrapped properly. Simply wrap each cake layer individually (when room temperature or slightly warm) in plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. To thaw , move the cake layers to the kitchen counter and leave wrapped for 30-45 minutes, as condensation collects on the wrapping. Then, unwrap and thaw to desired amount for cake assembly. (Some bakers like to work with partially frozen layers as they are less fragile.)
