How far in advance can I make a chocolate sponge cake?

[Mummysharkdoodoodoo]

Ds birthday on Friday evening. How far in advance can I make the sponges? I don’t have a tin, only a cake stand and lid. Can I wrap it in foil/clingfilm?

A chocolate fudge cake will keep beautifully moist for a few days. Making it tomorrow would be no problem.

Brilliant! Thank you xx

It's my favourite!

Sponge freezes well. You could make it, freeze the sponges, and then ice on Fri. It's also easier to ice a frozen sponge as fewer crumbs end up getting mixed in to the icing as you spread it

If I freeze It do i just leave it to defrost on the side? X

I would ice it frozen first and yes then leave it to defrost on the side

To clarify: I mean freeze the sponges Un-iced, then take them out, ice them and leave to defrost.
