I think fruit cake is the only cake that can stay out of the fridge for that length of time, because of the spirit it is soaked in. Infact you do not keep fruit cake in the fridge.

@ omlanike I wouldn't advice you to put preservatives in cakes. Try and plan and bake your cakes nearer to the time you need them. It is different for fruit cakes as you can bake them up to 4 months in advance and feed it with spirit (brandy, rum, sherry etc) to mature it. The longer the maturity the better it tastes. Fruit/rumcakes are best kept wrapped up in a sealed container and kept in a cool dark place.

Instead of putting preservatives in your cakes you cand freeze them . When you want to use it you bring out and keep at room temperature to defrost.

You can also mix nuts in flour so they don't sink to the bottom.

Merry Christmas everyone

Happy New Year
