Caribbean Black Cake Christmas Cake Recipe

Recipe By The Spruce Eats

Christmas cake, black cake, wedding cake, or great cake are all names used to describe this famous caribbean dessert that is made with aged rum-soaked fruits. This is a cake made to mark the celebration of christmas, weddings, christenings, baptisms, and significant anniversaries, and in more elaborate versions it takes days to assemble as the cake is brushed with rum and wine syrup on various occasions to add a stronger flavor. In either case, the result is a dense and moist cake. Each household and caribbean island has its own version, but this basic recipe is easy enough to make and use as a template to add more fruit, flavored rum, or additional spices like nutmeg. Check our tip section on how to make your rum-soaked fruit mixture.
