Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heavily grease and dust with cocoa four 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar and salt.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter. Add the cocoa. Stir together. Add the boiling water, allow the mixture to boil for 30 seconds and then turn off the heat. Pour over the flour mixture and stir lightly to cool.
- Combine the buttermilk, baking soda, vanilla and beaten eggs. Stir the buttermilk mixture into the butter/chocolate mixture.
- Divide the batter among the prepared cake pans and bake for 20 minutes.
- Cool completely before icing. Refrigerate the layers after cooling for best results.
- For the frosting: Heat the cream until very hot, and then pour over the chocolate pieces. Stir to completely melt, and then pour into the bowl of an electric mixer. Refrigerate to cool.
- Once completely cooled, add the vanilla and beat with an electric mixer until light and airy.
- Frost the cake in between each layer, on the top and around the sides.
Tips:
- Choose the right cake recipe. Not all cakes freeze well. Denser cakes, such as pound cake or carrot cake, freeze better than lighter cakes, such as angel food cake or sponge cake.
- Bake the cake according to the recipe instructions. Do not over or underbake the cake, as this will affect the texture and flavor of the cake once it is frozen.
- Cool the cake completely before freezing. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming soggy when it is thawed.
- Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap. This will help to prevent the cake from drying out in the freezer.
- Place the wrapped cake in a freezer-safe container. This will help to protect the cake from freezer burn.
- Freeze the cake for up to 3 months. After 3 months, the cake may start to lose its flavor and texture.
- Thaw the cake overnight in the refrigerator. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming soggy.
- Decorate the cake as desired. Once the cake is thawed, you can decorate it with frosting, sprinkles, or other toppings.
Conclusion:
Freezing a birthday cake is a great way to save time and money. By following these tips, you can ensure that your frozen birthday cake is just as delicious and beautiful as a freshly baked cake.
