Do you guys refrigerate your rum cake or leave it out? 🤔🤔

Should I be keeping my rum cake in the fridge or is it okay to leave it out on the counter? What do you all do?

I leave mine out though some folks swear by refrigerating it. What do you prefer?

Rum cake is typically left out at room temperature if it has been soaked with rum, as the alcohol acts as a preservative. However, if you prefer to store it for longer periods or live in a warm climate, refrigeration can help maintain freshness and prevent the cake from drying out.

Hey! I usually leave my rum cake out on the counter because the alcohol helps preserve it, but if it’s super humid or you want it to last longer, popping it in the fridge is a good move. Thanks for asking!

I usually refrigerate mine! I think it helps keep it moist and fresh longer, though.

Rum cake is a delicate dessert! I like to keep it refrigerated to maintain its flavor and prevent it from spoiling, but some prefer it at room temperature for a softer texture.
