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.

Hi habiba. Why can’t we find the video baking the cakes? I saved it last year but I can’t seem to find it now. Would really like it as I use only your recipe
I use dark rum and cherry wine.
Thanks you for sharing with me 💯 💙 💚 😊 ☺ 😘 💯 💙
Nice learned a lot of new things. Well done Habiba!
I watched your channel, I was so intrigued, I never tried black cake before.thank your for the tutorial 🎉🎄⛄
Awesome! I soak the fruits and literally picked the stem from the raisins. Then I steam, then blend with port wine, red label and white rum
Thank you for the video. Presoaking the fruit is something I haven't seen before. Much appreciated.🙂
You are so welcome 🤗
Thanks for the tip with the prune seed
Saving to my favorites and sharing. THANKS‼️

Thank you so much 😊 appreciate you watching!
Thank you for sharing!

Never seen anyone use maraschino cherries in their soaked fruits before, I have always seen glazed cherries used since it’s a firmer texture 🤔 interesting I am sure it gives a different taste.
As a purist I don't want nothing in black cake but raisins and prunes...no lemon/orange rinds or maraschino cherries...and those damn green things
Always like to eat black cake
Thanks for your video, don't forget to mention, that Port is a very sweet dessert fruity wine...Port is diffrent from normal red wine...
💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks for sharing.
In Trinidad (How my mum showed me) we would use a hand mill to grind the fruits and then add the rum. Now the blender is used and yes look out for those prune pits. We use Sherry Brandy (similar to Taylor's but not as strong) and Rum. It's made 3 months or more before baking, but these days weeks before is just as good and the longer you leave it to soak the better. Looking forward to the actual cake making session ❤
Thank you for sharing how you and your mum make it . Yes sherry brandy is a great alternative as well . I will definitely be uploading the cake session soon 😅

Hi Habiba. Perfect timing. My Sister in London who does excellent Black cakes is visiting me in the US for Christmas. She gave me the list of items to purchase & soak. I had a hard time finding port wine. Finally, found the Taylor brand & will soak fruit on weekend. Looking forward to your other videos in this series 🥰👍🏽
Awesome 👏🏽 I hope your cakes come out well and thank you for watching!
@@Kenton-Habiba I can’t seem to find your video anymore, if you baking the cakes. Can you upload it again please?
💕😋💕
I wish I could taste your cake.I love fruit cake.Too much work to make so I'll settle for a store bought one.
I hope you get to make this one day . Yes it can be a lot of work but it tastes so much better than the store bought versions which tend to look nice but have less fruit and wine but more color and preservatives .
I thought about selling cakes again with in the USA 🇺🇸 but bulk cake making and dealing with packaging and shipping is a little too much for me now . 😅 I can only handle making a few cakes at a time .
Maraschino cherries are not American. They are the Marasca cherries from the former Yogoslavia and Northern Italy. Soaked in Maraschino liqueur which came from Croatia. At the time 200 years ago was part of Venetian Republic.
I do not dispute Maraschino cherries are not originally American. We still call them "American Cherries"
I bought a bottle of sweet wine. Mascoto. Anyway it’s what I have. Is three weeks enough? Should I boil the. Fruits first since I only have three weeks?
Delicious
This reminds me of a recipe I saw for black pudding from the UK. Very similar
Interesting 😀 Yes as you may already know the Caribbean Fruit cake gets it origins from the British plum pudding.
Interesting 😀 Yes as you may already know the Caribbean Fruit cake historically gets it origins from the British plum pudding.

I’m having a hard time trying to find cherries not soaked in HFCS ( high fructose corn syrup)
You are supose to wash the raisens and the currants and dry them before soaking the
I have two 1-quart jars of soaked fruit that have been sitting in my pantry for about 2 years. It was going to be my first time trying to make the black fruitcake but life got in the way and I haven't used it so far. It has been in the pantry all this time and has not been refrigerated. Would the mixture still be okay to use even if it wasn't refrigerated? Is it normally required to do so?
Go on and get baking. Every year I say I’m going to make a black fruit cake. But God willing this year I will. I only have three weeks to soak my fruits. You’re ahead of the game. Get going🤣🤣🤣💚✌🏽Good luck.
Hello lovely lady, I loved watching your video on Black Cake. I wish we had smell-a-vision so we could smell the delicious fruit you have soaking in booze in your kitchen. It looks beautiful and I'm sure that it tastes even better. I've just bought a bottle of spiced dark rum to soak my dried fruit in this year for Christmas, but I've left it a bit late. Should I put the rum and fruit in a saucepan and bring it to the boil so that the fruit soaks up the rum more quickly, or can I just soak the fruit in the rum for a couple of weeks? Thanks again, love from Amanda in Australia
P.S. The glace peel we get here in Australia is really awful, so do you know how I can make my own?
I think you can soak the fruit without boiling it since you have several weeks till Christmas time. I have updated the description box so you can get more details for your next cake!
My fruits have been soaking for almost two month now. I have a very similar glass jar to your one gallon container.
I noticed that you used parchment paper under the metal lid. What is your reason for doing this?
Also do you have to stir or shake the fruit in the jar every once in awhile, or can you let them sit undisturbed?
I want to leave mine to soak for 1 year, do I put it in the fridge or leave it out?
Either. Save in a dark place in your cabinets or in the fridge. As long as fruit is covered with sufficient alcohol it 😅serves as a preservative.
Okay thank you
Please how many days do you have to soak your fruits??
Weeks or even months! Link in description box for more details. Cake book with answers to every question answered you have about making Black cake/ Caribbean fruit cake
I watched a video where the lady boiled her fruits before soaking them and she said she could use it the next day. I might do both. It’s Dec 2,2024 so I have three weeks.
I should NOT be watching this video at this hour. I wanted to bite that cherry you dangled at the camera 😂 Great video. Even the prunes look yummy. I know people eat them for the obvious, but I actually like them just because.
🤣😋
Don’t laugh at me, but I curious to know: when you’re soaking fruit for a year is it refrigerated?
No problem 😅 Alcohol is a preservative and as long as the jar is airtight it doesn’t need refrigeration. Usually it is kept in a dark cabinet; however if you feel more comfortable you can place jar in the fridge . Currently I have a few jars in my back fridge.
Do you store the soaked fruits at room temperature?
I store the soaked fruit in a cool room or closet and sometimes I do store them in the fridge if I have room. Remember Alcohol is a preservative plus the sugars from the fruit..
@@Kenton-Habiba Thank you. I have mine in a dark cupboard. It’s in a 3 litre glass mason jar. It is heavy with all the fruit and two bottles of alcohol. Great full it can be stored in a reasonably cool, dark place.
I’m looking forward to making my first Caribbean fruit cake.
Merry Christmas 🎄
That is the reason I don't eat any one black cake because they only soak the fruit they don't wash the fruits

Por favor me puedes dar la receta en español
I don't make black cake my sister usually do so I will get from her that's the way she does it the only thing different she grinds her fruits with a mill the old time way🇹🇹
Thank you for sharing and commenting! Yes a lot of people still use the mill method or blend the fruit before soaking it .
too much talking...
😂
uuqeekwih
