How to freeze sponge cake
It is known that preparing for a special event takes a lot of time for every housewife. To make preparing for the holiday easier, you can bake the sponge cakes a few days or weeks in advance and freeze them. Then, just before the important date, all that remains is to spread the cream and decorate the finished sponge cake. Experienced confectioners, before cutting the biscuit into cake layers and giving it shape, first freeze it. The semi-finished product is then much easier to work with: it crumbles and breaks less.

How to prepare a biscuit for freezing
The baked cake must be removed from the mold and left to cool completely.
Then wrap it in several layers of cling film, removing excess air. The cake is wrapped so that foreign odors in the freezer and condensation from the air do not spoil the taste of the finished cake.
How long can frozen biscuits be stored?
The shelf life of sponge cakes is up to 1 month at a temperature of -18 degrees. If you store more, the quality of the cakes begins to deteriorate. They become dry and lose their fluffiness.
How to defrost a biscuit correctly
The sponge cake should be defrosted in the refrigerator 1 day before turning it into a finished cake. You can also defrost the semi-finished product at room temperature for 4-5 hours.It is important in both cases to free the cake from the film so that it does not become wet. After defrosting, you can soak the sponge cake in syrup, coat the cakes with cream and decorate the finished cake. It will taste the same as freshly prepared.
If the space in your freezer allows, then before the holiday you will make your task much easier by pre-preparing the sponge cakes and freezing them. Cooking time will be reduced, allowing you to do other equally important things.
