Does anyone make black or heavy cake for the holidays?
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!
To start one for Christmas is still possible, but the best cakes take years to evolve due to the boozey fruit involved!
My battery is almost dead, but I look forward to seeing if anyone would like to talk about black cake?
