I do not know how far ahead you can bake the cake and leave at room temperature or in the frig- because it's never lasted more than two days at my house. However, I can say that it did get frozen ONCE by accident, when an irritable son stuck it in the freezer part during evening dish duty. The cake did not seem to suffer from the experience, when we thawed it and ate it about a week later. I just haven't repeated the experiment since because I haven't needed to, but I suspect it could last a month, if if were well wrapped.
it should be fine - and might even be better - made a day or two ahead of time. It should freeze well, too.

(If it were me, I'd look for a recipe with more consistent results by those who've tried it and left comments.). ;o)
