If so let's talk

I have a huge Carribean influence in my life and holiday black cake is a tradition for us. I am hoping others here bake it as well, because there is no exact way to make this cake! I have always learned more from others than from my own efforts in baking, this is one cake that gets better each year.
If you have never heard of it, I guess you can compare it with a baked plum pudding. The past few years I gave baked it in jars ...omg when you find a jar of black cake you forgot about...wow!
