Can I freeze the batter 2 days ahead?
I'd like to bake this on Sunday, but will not have time to do anything on Saturday. I'm thinking of preparing the batter on Friday, freeze it, put it in the fridge on Saturday night and bake it on Sunday.

Some cake batters freeze well. Ones like this one, which call for a good long beating time once the eggs are added, rely on the air beaten into the eggs to make the cake rise properly. That air beaten into the batter won't withstand freezing.
I've never made this cake but the fact that it has a fair bit of oil in it ensures a nice moist crumb, which means it will freeze quite well.
