6

6
oz
orange peel, glaced, minced
3/4
l

3/4
l
rum, dark
2
pound
sugar, dark brown
4 1/4
cup
flour, cake
4
teaspoon
baking powder
1/2
teaspoon
nutmeg, grated
1/2
teaspoon
cinnamon
2
cup
butter, sweet, softened
10
lg
egg
1
tablespoon

1 1/2
cup
almond paste, if desired
ICING:
2
pound
Sugar, confectioners, sifted
6
lg
rgg whites, room temp
2
tablespoon
lemon juice
1
Drages, for decoration
Directions:
In a large bowl, mix all the fruits thoroughly with the wine and the rum;
let the fruit macerate, covered, at room temperature for at least two
weeks. In a heavy skillet combine one pound of the brown sugar and 1 cup
water. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, stirring until the sugar is
dissolved, and gently boil the syrup, swirling the skillet occasionally,
for a few minutes, or until it is reduced to 1 3/4 cups. Let the syrup
cool; reserve. Sift the flour, baking powder, cinnamon and nutmeg together
into a bowl. In the large bowl of an electric mixer cream together the
remaining brown sugar and the butter until it is fluffy; then beat in the
eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla,
the flour mixture, and 1 1/3 cups of the burnt sugar syrup, reserving the
remaining syrup for another use. In another large bowl, combine well the
flour mixture and the fruit mixture and divide the batter between two
buttered and floured 10 inches springform pans. Bake the cakes in the middle of a
preheated 350 F. oven for two hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the
centers comes out with some crumbs adhering to it. (The centers of these
cakes will be quite moist.)
Let the cakes cool in the pans on a rack,
remove the sides and bottoms of the pans, and wrap the cakes in foil or wax
paper. Let the cakes stand at room temperature for a week. Roll out half
the almond paste between sheets of plastic wrap to form a 10 inches round and
remove the top sheet of plastic wrap. Fit the almond paste layer over one
cake, trimming the edge if necessary, and remove the other sheet of plastic
wrap. Roll out and fit the remaining almond paste onto the remaining cake
in the same manner. ICING: Using an electric mixer, beat 4 cups of the
confectioners' sugar with the egg whites and lemon juice until the mixture
will hold a soft peak. Beat in the remaining sugar, and beat the icing
until it will hold a stiff peak. Transfer two cups of the icing to a pastry
bag fitted with a decorative tip, spread the remaining icing on the tops
and sides of the cakes with a long metal spatula, and pipe the icing in the
pastry bag decoratively onto the cakes. Arrange the drages on the cakes.
Makes two cakes.

SOAKING FRUITS FOR CARIBBEAN RUM CAKE AKA BLACK CAKE /CHRISTMAS CAKE #rumcake #blackcake #fruitcake
Let's soak some fruit in preparation for our holiday cake. Plan to to this several weeks before you plan to bake and even up to a year before!
#rumcake #blackcake #fruitcake #christmascake **Link to MY BOOK ????
THE CARIBBEAN FRUIT CAKE BOOK below!
***For detailed RECIPES and everything seen in this video including the classic Black Cake, a vegan recipe, gluten-free, alcohol- free and sugar-free suggestions to make the cake,
***If you need the recipe NOW let me suggest the E-book version for immediate access. If you have time to wait and want a physical copy then feel free to order the paperback version or Hard copy *****
USA AMAZON
Barnes & Noble
Walmart
UK
If you have run out of time before Christmas or New Years then soak fruit at least a week before or consider stewing the fruits instead.
The longer they soak the better!
Black cake is not only great for Christmas but also for birthdays, anniversaries or weddings! One of my sons & mum are both born in December & love Black cake.
You will need a large bottle of Red wine AND White Rum or Spiced dark rum like Myer's rum, Bacardi rum, Wray & Nephew or any Caribbean rum.
Fruit: One pound of prunes, raisins, currants, mixed peel & half to one pound of maraschino cherries.
A large air tight jar.
After the fruit have soaked sufficiently we will coarsely blend it and add it to the cake batter.
TIP: I placed the cherries in the jar First so that once I pour out the fruit they come out LAST and I can save some of the cherries for the batter & not grind them all or use some of them cut in half as decoration on top of the cake before it fully bakes.
I hope this video is helpful but if you have more questions or want to know how to make the decadent, moist delicious Rum cake/ Black cake please buy my book linked above. Again the E-version will be available to you almost immediately if you are short on time and can not wait on the paper back or hardcover version.
