Q: <strong>Does this Cake need Refrigeration?</strong>

This Eggnog Rum Cake can sit at room temperature in an airtight container or under a cake dome for 2-3 days. After that, we recommend moving to the refrigerator for freshness. If you do refrigerate, it is best to move it to room temperature a couple of hours before serving for the very best texture and flavor. This will allow the cake a chance to warm and soften.
