Can I freeze parkin?

Debran

Now some may say I am wrong but I believe parkin is made with oatmeal. Without oatmeal it's ginger cake.

I remember my grandmother making parkin back in the 1940s. My grandfather always called it "farth cake" (yes, farth cake - it's not a typographical error). This was long before the days when us peasants had freezers. It was kept in an old biscuit tin and hidden away for a few weeks before eating.

I know this is an old thread, but still relevant! Can I use normal porridge oats in place of oatmeal, if I whizz them up in a food processor first? TIA.

That should work well - try not to let it get as far as flour.

Thanks all, I'll try it then!
