Banana & Walnut cake.

[pussnboots]

I made this cake last Friday 28th April and there is still over half left. I'm having some friends over this coming Saturday for a meal so I was wondering could I freeze the cake then on Saturday heat it up wrapped in tin foil in the oven and serve it with either whipped cream or custard. Is it a good idea or would it be a disaster.???

Try it, puss, I would!

If it were me I'd certainly give that a try but also have something else as a back up...just in case it wasn't up to your expectations.

may be a bit dry by now puss!..........if you'd frozen it the day after you baked it, then I'm sure it would have been fine, but not so sure now!...........try it!........but have a back up, in case it's not good!..................

it'll be fine. i'd take it out of the freezer in the morning and just re-heat each slice in the microwave for about 20 seconds when you're ready to serve it. i regularly make a couple of banana cakes with over ripe bananas (no walnuts though) and they freezes very nicely.

It's still very moist, I'm going to give it a go but I'm always worried about stuff being suitable to freeze.

I did think that putting it in the oven may make the outside a bit crispy.

puss, if it's still moist, then should be fine!..................

puss, just about everything is suitable for freezing. it's mainly stuff like fresh strawberries, tomatoes and cucumber which contain a lot of water that don't, although a tomatoe sauce would freeze very nicely.

Well that's quickly done and dusted. cake is now in the freezer, just checked in store cupboard and have a tin of Ambrosia custard so that's the pud sorted, thanks folks.
