Hi everyone, I have been searching for cake & biscuits recipes that I can freeze but can't seem to find anything. I'm currently on maternity leave & I'm getting closer to my 3 months with no pay so I'm trying to stash food so we're not spending loads on shopping during that time.
Any freezable recipes would be a massive help.
Thanks in advance.

I make all sorts of cakes and slice and freeze them wrapped in tin foil. That way we just get a single portion and there's usually a choice. It takes about half an hour to defrost. I do ginger cake, Victoria sandwich, brownies, lemon curd cake. There's loads of recipes on the first page of the grocery challenge.
Not sure about freezing biscuits, would it be better to freeze the uncooked dough in a sausage shape and cut off slices to bake as and when needed?0 -
I second the Victoria sandwich, the same recipe could be made as butterfly cakes. You could freeze the cakes, and defrost as many as you need at a time.
A fruit cake would keep all week if that sounds like an option.0 -

3 sugar
2 eggs
Milk
2 big handfulls of dried mixed fruit
Half a tin of black treacle.

I bake and freeze rock buns, scones...fruit, cheese and plain, thumb buns,
sponge cakes and sultana cakes. I have a baking session and get it over with!
I make and freeze Twink's hobnobs...do these count as biscuits?....stops them being eaten quickly as they are so good! They are fine when thawed.

Freeze slices of victoria sponge complete with butter cream and jam?
I don't make them any more as too much for one. Would be great to freeze, hadn't thought of doing that. I do freeze scones though..0
