@wyseguide: If you like making cakes ahead, this simple trick helps keep them moist, flavorful, and ready to frost. Brush the warm cake with milk and vanilla, wrap it tightly, and freeze it for an easy make-ahead cake that still tastes fresh.
You failed to mention that you can flavor a simple syrup in a multitude of different ways. You make it sound like the only option is a tasteless, sugary sweet simple syrup when in fact you can make it any flavor you’d like, including vanilla. 😊

I never knew you could freeze cake. I would think the cake would get mushy when it defrosted.

My tops are always sticky and if I wrap them it would be a disaster. Could someone please explain how I can prevent this??

do you wrap it in anything else prior to putting it in the freezer?

Do you thaw in the fridge instead of room temp to prevent condensation?

Freezing makes the best cakes. Putting it in the freezer freezes the state it’s in. Still fresh.

Thank you! I’ve been trying to figure out what to use besides sugar water. I don’t like my cakes too sweet & this reminds me of tres leches. I do plain milk but this is better🥰

Kim Coffey Clifton :
If the cake recipe calls for vanilla, wouldn’t the vanilla/milk mixture alter the cake flavor and make the vanilla overpowering?

Good idea about brushing with whole milk (would cream work too?) and vanilla 💕

Do you use the vanilla/milk on any cake regardless of the flavor?

Great! I’ve used the simple syrup trick, but the milk makes a lot more sense! 🥰
