Can you freeze white velvet cake?
Yes, you can freeze white velvet cake. To freeze cake without ruining it, place the frosted cake in the freezer until the frosting hardens, 30 to 60 minutes. Then wrap the cake in storage wrap. Or, wrap individual slices in storage wrap and place them in an airtight container. A frosted cake can be kept in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw the cake overnight in the fridge.
To freeze cake layers, allow them to cool to room temperature, then wrap the cakes separately in a few layers of storage wrap. They can last in the freezer for up to two months. Thaw them overnight in the fridge or at room temperature for one hour.
White Velvet Cake Tips
What’s the difference between red velvet cake and white velvet cake?
One of the key ingredients in a red velvet cake is buttermilk. Yes, a red velvet cake relies on red food coloring and a touch of cocoa powder for its pretty color, but the flavor and texture are all thanks to buttermilk. (Same with blue velvet cake!) White velvet cake skips the food coloring and cocoa powder but still uses buttermilk, resulting in the same soft texture.
Can I bake the cakes in other cake pan sizes?
Absolutely! Instead of two 8-inch cake pans, bake the cake batter in a 13×9-inch pan or three 6-inch round pans.
