Can you freeze carrot cake

This includes cream cheese frosting, buttercream frosting, and custard frosting. To extend the shelf life of carrot cake in the freezer, we recommend skipping the cream cheese frosting prior to freezing.

Once the cake has been defrosted, you can start adding the frosting so it is freshly made. For a freezer-friendly carrot cake, try using unsweetened and unflavored applesauce or pureed carrots in place of vegetable oil so the texture of the cake is denser, moister. Dense cakes are less likely to dry out in the freezer. Use finely grated carrots instead of chunky carrot bits to create a moist and dense texture.

When kept in the freezer, carrot cake will keep for 4 to 6 months in the freezer. It will keep longer if the temperature is kept at a steady 0 degrees Fahrenheit. To defrost the cake, simply remove the cake from the freezer and leave it to thaw overnight in the fridge.

If you are pressed for time, remove the wrapping of the frozen cake and leave it to thaw on the counter for an hour or two. I love making dessert recipes for my Italian friends and family.

Sounds scrumptious. How long should I bake this in a bundt pan? Thanks Rosemary. Hi Angelina, I think it would be best to use a 10 inch bundt pan and you should bake it for approximately minutes maybe a bit less or more depending on your oven. You can check it after 40 minutes with a toothpick and just continue to bake if needed.
