If you refrigerated your rum cake it can typically last for up to 2-3 weeks. But the actual shelf life may vary depending on the specific recipe, ingredients, and storage conditions. Additionally, if your rum cake contains any perishable fillings like cream or custard, it should be refrigerated and consumed within a few days to prevent spoilage. Always use your best judgment and check for any signs of mold, off odors, or changes in texture before consuming leftover rum cake.

Rum cake typically has a decent shelf life thanks to the alcohol content, which acts as a natural preservative. If kept in an airtight container at room temperature, it can stay fresh for about 5-7 days. However, for longer-term storage, you can refrigerate it for up to 2 weeks or freeze it for even longer. Just make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil before freezing to prevent freezer burn.
