The Cake: Prepare a 10" deep round cake baking tin or a 13" x 9" baking tin by lining it with two layers of waxed paper, greasing between the layers. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until they are light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Remove the cake from the oven, prick it all over with a skewer or toothpick and pour the rum all over it. Remove the cake from the tin when it is cool, wrap it tightly in waxed paper, place it in an airtight container and leave for a month for best flavour. Every week, prick the cake with a skewer and pour on about 1 tablespoon of rum. (Makes one 5 pound cake. )

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.
