Yes search in here for the cake extender recipe, it works great.
I've found you can't go wrong w/ White Almond Sour Cream cake. Go to this post http://cakecentral.com/cake-decorating-ftopic-614554-3195.html & I know MacsMom & a few others have a link in their signature line that has a link for soooo many different variations. Yummy!
Wrap in plastic then foil...freeze and thaw with plastic on. Don't put in fridge for more than a few hours. Eat fast.
I need to hijack for a minute...how much mayo do you use? Do you just toss a spoonful in or is there a specific recipe or technique?
I saw a video on YouTube (sorry I can't remember whose) that suggested wrapping warm cakes in plastic wrap. I started doing that and boy does in make them moist! I've done it with choc. cake, WASC, and vanilla/caramel cake, all with great success. It also makes the cakes a little denser. I just leave them wrapped that way and once cool or the next day, torte and fill - or you can freeze them.
I left one cake in the freezer for 5 months (forgot it was there), suspected I'd have to toss it but when I defrosted it, it was just perfect and you couldn't even tell it had been frozen!
There will be some to tell you not to wrap a warm cake b/c bacteria can grow rapidly. I personally cool to room temp then wrap in plastic, wrap in aluminum, wrap in a bag then freeze.
If you use Rebecca Sutterby's (probably butchered the spelling) but add 1 pkg of pudding to the full recipe---1/2 pkg to 1/2 recipe you'll be plesantly surprised. And if you're just wanting a white vanilla flavored cake use vanilla instead of almond in the recipe
There are few bacteria that can stand up to freezing. Your cake will be fine....
Baking in an oven will kill any bacteria. After that, wrapping protects it from new bacteria. The little that gets on it between oven and wrapping while warm will not be killed in the freezer. But they will hibernate while frozen. When you thaw the cake, any bacteria will be revived by the warmth. So you'll just be back where you started before you wrapped and froze it anyway.
But you'll actually be better off because, having wrapped your cake so sooner, fewer bacteria had a chance to settle on it than would have on a cake left unwrapped and exposed on the counter to cool. Your cake will be fine.
I don't care & I think your cake will be ok, but there are some on CC who are avid about letting it cool completely. I personally let it cool to room temp before wrapping b/c I level my cakes before wrapping. My experience when I wrapped it warm was it became to sticky to level after I thawed it.
But if you use the WASC & add the pkg of pudding you'll never have another problem.
