Black Cake

Famous for its uniquely dense texture, dark color, rich and robust taste; this is the cake that takes the cake. This beloved rum-soaked fruit cake is highly revered and sought after during Christmas time. The main ingredient- dried macerated fruits. Prunes, currants, raisins, and glace cherries are chopped finely then soaked in red wine and dark rum for months and years on end. The fruit mixture is added to the cake batter along with aromatic flavorings and warm spices. This is an all-time favorite during the Christmas season in the Caribbean.  The cake is 8 inches in size.
