Costco has grown tremendously since its beginnings as a single store opened in Seattle in 1983, in large part due to the efforts and expertise of CEO Jim Sinegal, who was tapped to help found the enterprise because of his experience with a similar venture, the Price Club chain of high-volume warehouse stores.
Not a cake to bake if youâre short of time. This recipe makes enough for two Chocolate Babka cakes. If you can manage not to eat the second loaf, it can be stored frozen for up to three weeks wrapped in plastic cling film and then foil.
To freeze a layer cake, place cooled unfrosted layers on baking sheets and freeze until firm. Place the frozen layers in freezer bags or wrap and seal in freezer wrap and store in the freezer up to four months. Be sure to label and date. Freeze for up to 2 months.If freezing the cakes longer than one week you can also add a third layer, using tin foil, to help prevent frost buildup on the cake.) If you have already iced the cake, stick it in the freezer to harden the frosting first, then wrap it in plastic wrap.
