While some people may opt to just throw these leftovers away, I prefer to make use of them and save money in the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a general rule, there are many ways to use leftover cake batter and trimmings including turning them into other delicious desserts and breakfast treats. You can freeze unused cake batter and trimmings for months and thaw them out in the fridge when you\u2019re ready to use them again.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you do with leftover cake batter besides eating it? Cake batter can be used for sweet treats, like cake or cupcakes. But it can also be used for a shake. Plus, there\u2019s a multitude of other possible ways to use it after the cake is gone. Check out these 13 creative ways with leftover cake batter you\u2019re sure to find inspiring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Just because you don\u2019t want to bake the leftover cake batter doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s not good for something. My favorite way to use leftover cake batter is anything that involves creativity. If you\u2019re looking for some delicious ways to use leftover cake trimmings, you came to the right place!<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you’re looking for a good set of airtight storage containers, I recommend getting the Rubbermaid Brilliance Leak-Proof Food Storage Containers with Airtight Lids.<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve used these containers for a couple of years now and I’ve successfully stored all of my food and baked goods in room temperature, fridge, and freezer.<\/strong> I’ve even used them in the microwave! These containers come in many different sets,<\/strong><\/em> so choose the right one for you. You can check out these containers on Amazon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Baking leftover cake batter is one of my favorite ways to use it. If I have enough leftover batter or ingredients to do so, then I like to turn my leftover batter into another cake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If I\u2019m baking for a party or family get-together, then I may alter the flavor of this extra cake,<\/strong> if possible, or add different toppings, in order to provide another option for guests. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, I may add some coffee to my leftover chocolate cake batter for a chocolate coffee-flavored cake.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n If I don\u2019t have enough leftover cake batter or ingredients to make another cake, then I may instead choose to bake the leftover batter into as many cupcakes as I can, or I may make one giant cupcake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n *Side Note:<\/strong> You might also want to know why your cakes can sometimes come out Crumbly or Moist<\/strong>. I dug into the root of the problem and I wrote an article about Preventing and Fixing Crumbly and Moist Cakes,<\/a><\/strong> which you can check out here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can freeze leftover cake batter for up to three months.<\/strong> When freezing cake batter, it\u2019s important to note that oil-based batters freeze better than batter that includes whipped eggs or cream as these two ingredients change texture when frozen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I like to freeze my leftover cake batter in a freezer bag. To do so without making too much of a mess, I like to place the freezer bag into a bowl or cup (depending on how much batter I\u2019m freezing),<\/strong> then wrap the edges of the bag around the rim of the cup or bowl to keep it open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n13 Ways To Use Leftover Cake Batter and Trimmings:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
