Tips for the perfect traybake
Read on for hosts of tips on how to make, bake and store your traybake. Plus other tasty recipe ideas
What other ingredients can I put in my traybake?
Summer berries like strawberries and blackberries work particularly well with a white sponge like this, as do apples and pears with a little cinnamon or allspice.
You could swap out the white chocolate for chopped nuts, candied ginger, or drops of caramel.
If you want to get more creative with the type of mixture you’re using then how about a carrot cake traybake with cream cheese frosting, or using ground almonds in the sponge for a raspberry Bakewell traybake?
Can I freeze my traybake?
Yes, just make sure to get them in the freezer within 2 hours of baking, they will freeze well for at least 1 month. Remember to store them in an airtight container or wrapped up in foil so they don’t get freezer burn.
You can also cut the traybake into individual portions and wrap them separately so you only need to defrost what you want.
If you pack a frozen one in a lunchbox in the morning it should be defrosted for a lunchtime treat.
How long will my traybake keep for?
Stored in an airtight container your traybake should keep for two days.
Can I use frozen fruit in my traybake?
Yes, you can, and it’s a great choice when fruit is out of season. Just remember that frozen fruit will cool the batter down so it may make your cooking times longer.

Made the tray bake in a 12” x 9” tin but a lot of it overflowed as it does not say in the recipe the depth of the tin, my tin is only 1” depth …alas what overflowed wasn’t wasted as it was caught in the tin at the bottom of the oven . But when cut up was very nice.
Emily Leary says
Hi. I’m sorry to hear that. Yes sounds like you used a swiss roll tray as opposed to a tin. I’m glad what remained was tasty.
Kin Duff says
Tray bake was excellent! Would like to know if I can freeze this?
Emily Leary says
Glad you like it! Yes, it freezes well in my experience. Just make sure it’s well wrapped and in a sealed container so that it doesn’t frost up.
