Can You Freeze Chocolate, Prune and Rum Cake?

Question

Can the Chocolate, Prune and Rum Cake be successfully frozen?

Lynn Clark · Accepted Answer

Hi Sara - \Could\ the cake be frozen? Sure. \Should\ the cake be frozen? I'd say "no." Here's why: this cake is like a flourless chocolate cake that is at its best when served warm. The cake is baked only until the center is just starting to set so it stays somewhat jiggly and continues to set as it cools yielding a somewhat soft and gooey center. If you were to freeze the cake I think you would certainly lose that interior texture and the cake would potentially become dry and dense. Best, Lynn C.
