Recipe By Slurrp

Guyanese Black Cake is a rich, dense and moist cake. It is made with rum soaked fruits and a dark sugar caramel gives it its signature black color. It is traditionally made at Christmas and for weddings. Black Cake is a staple at Christmas in Guyana and many countries in the Caribbean. This is also always served at a Guyanese wedding, always. It’s a dense cake that’s made of dried fruits, nuts and rum. This cake is soaked in rum weekly and will keep for up to a month, as long as you keep adding alcohol. This will not only preserve the cake, but also keep it moist.
