After freezing then defrosting egg whites can I still use them in my cake batter? I don't want to have any more disasters today. I already have to start a cake all over. Thanks in advance!

I also was wondering about this, they had a good sale on eggs this week and I was wondering could you freeze them in batches for cakes????? I'm waiting with you on this one.

Yes you can. I've done it several times. I've also used defrosted whites to make SMBC. You should be fine.

Can you freeze the whole egg minus the shell for a cake mix.

I should think so. I've frozen both egg yolk and egg whites separately before (depending on what I was using at the time), and they've been perfectly fine.

The egg yolks I ended up making curds with - yum...or just adding them to a quiche.

The egg whites usually end up in an angel food cake or SMBC.

I freeze both whites and yolks (seperately) all the time. They cook just fine. I use my ice cube trays to hold them in until they are frozen and then I transfer to a ziptop bag. The ice cube trays hold 1 white in 2 spaces and the yolk in one so I always know who many to pull out for a recipe.

From the Georgia Egg Commission:

WHITES Break and separate the eggs, one at a time, making sure that no yolk gets in the whites. Pour them into freezer containers, seal tightly, label with the number of egg whites and the date, and freeze. For faster thawing and easier measuring, first freeze each white in an ice cube tray and then transfer to a freezer container.

YOLKS Egg yolks require special treatment. The gelation property of yolk causes it to thicken or gel when frozen. If frozen as is, egg yolk will eventually become so gelatinous it will be almost impossible to use in a recipe. To help retard this gelation, beat in either 1/8 teaspoon salt or 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar or corn syrup per 1/4 cup egg yolks (4 yolks). Label the container with the number of yolks, the date, and whether you've added salt (for main dishes) or sweetener (for baking or desserts).

WHOLE EGGS Beat just until blended, pour into freezer containers. seal tightly, label with the number of eggs and the date, and freeze.

I have successfully frozen and used whites and yolks using this information, but I have never tried the whole eggs.

Wow, thanks for all the information. You do learn something new each day!!
