That is great for breakfast – I am the worst culprit – so I would definitely have to make it the evening before – do you know if it freezes well? I could make a few ahead!
thank you!

The cake didn’t last long enough to freeze but it should be okay frozen. It is a moister cake so it may get a little moister and looser when it thaws. It certainly would be worth a try to have them ready in the freezer.
