flour
1 1/2
teaspoon

1
teaspoon
baking powder
1
teaspoon

2
each
eggs
1
cup
pecans, walnuts
Directions:
Grind all the spices in a petal and mortar or any other method you prefer. Using whole spices and grinding just prior to making the fruitcake makes a difference.
Use dried fruit instead of candied fruit.
Toast the nuts in a 300 degree F oven for an hour. Toasting the nuts brings out much more flavour.
Combine fruit, candied ginger and the orange, lemon, lime zest in a large non-reactive bowl. (eg. glass or plastic) Add rum and macerate (marinate) overnight. To speed things up you can microwave for 5 minutes to speed the process.
Place the fruit/rum mixture in a non-reactive pot. Add the suger, butter, apple cider, and all spices. Bring to a boil, stirring often and simmer for 5 or 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
Heat oven to 325 degrees F.
Combine the remaining dry ingredients and sift into the fruit mixture.
Using a large wooden spoon mix together quickly. Then stir in eggs one at a time until completly incorporated, then fold in the nuts.
Place the mixture into a 10 inch non-stick loaf pan and bake for 1 hour. Check for doneness with a toothpick in the middle of the cake, if it comes out clean it's done. If it's not done bake for another 10-15 minutes and check again. I find mine usually take a good 1 1/2 hours.
Remove cake from oven and place on a cooling rack. Spitz the top with brandy in a spay bottle (or baste) and allow to cool. Let the cake cool completely before taking it out of the pan.
Once the cake is completely cool, seal in a tight sealing food safe storage container. Check the cake every few days. If it's dry, spritz with more brandy.
The spritzing with brandy is to help prevent the cake from cracking by preventing the surface from drying out.
The cake's flavour will be considerably enhanced by aging over the next two weeks.

Black Cake - Cooking with Flavors of Belize & Sean Kuylen
One of the most important items on the menu for a true Belizean Christmas. Chef Sean Kuylen tries his hand at baking, adding some flavor to this timeless recipe and almost burning off an eyebrow in the process!
If you are looking for an authentic homegrown Belizean recipe (with a spin, of course) to try this Christmas - our Black Cake recipe is perfect.
Small Batch Belizean Black Fruit Cake | Caribbean Rum Cake | 6 x 2
My Aunt Grace had simple the best recipe for Black Fruit Cake. In this video I cut the regular recipe to 1/4 in order to make a 6x2 inch cake.
Small Batch Belizean Black Fruit Cake | Caribbean Rum Cake | 6 x 2 is my new cookbook called No More Leftovers. Black fruit cake is predominantly known in Caribbean countries. Each culture makes it a little bit different, but all add fruits and some type of alcohol. I use wine on mine because the rum makes it too bitter for me.
Ingredients:
1/4 c. unsalted butter (softened)
1/2 c. + 1 T. granulated white sugar
2 eggs (separated)
1/8 tsp. lemon extract
1/2 c. + 2 T. all purpose flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. all purpose flour (to flour fruits)
1/2 c. dried fruits
3 1/2 oz. Blue Mountain Country burnt sugar
1 oz grape juice

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.
