Yes, cake can be frozen, and many cakes hold up surprisingly well.

The key is wrapping it tightly so it does not dry out or absorb freezer smells.

Freeze cake once it is completely cool. Wrap slices or layers in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer bag or airtight container.

Plain cakes, pound cakes, sponge cakes, and many frosted cakes freeze well. Delicate decorations, fresh fruit, whipped cream, or custard fillings may not thaw as nicely.

Thaw cake in the refrigerator or at room temperature while still wrapped. This helps reduce condensation on the cake itself.

Cake is a good freezer item when protected from air. Wrap it well and save delicate toppings for later when possible.
