    Just a suggestion. I think you should get all your ingredients together before you start. You take too much time talking....ride and whistle.

      He is criticizing other people but he's so disorganized, everything should be laid out before he starts to work. I add sifted breadcrumbs to my fruit cake, the zest takes out the rawness from the eggs 🥚

    That's your preferable color and that's ok. The darkness of mixture is the reason it's called black Cake. Yes ! Sometimes I think it's really too black but you have to have a balance 💕🙏. This is a simple tutorial.

    Thank you chef Ricardo. Our culture and cooking skills should not be lost to our youngsters in todays society. I’m sure many of us reading this comment, will agree that our parents never measured anything when seasoning, cooking or baking. Furthermore, it’s good to see different variants of Caribbean cooking and that we can all learn and enhance our skills in the kitchen. The video was a long and words and phrases being repeated, but I’m sure you wanted to show us all the necessary steps. However, it’s good to see you doing this online for many viewers to see in many years to come.
    Keep up the good work that you do here.
    Bless…!!!

    I made my cakes yesterday. I use my Grandma's recipe. No salt, almond, lemon, browning or baking powder. If you use Billingtons dark sugar, no browning needed. The eggs makes the cake raise. Our cakes are lush and loved by family and friends in America and the Caribbean. We also put baking paper around the sides of the baking tin. NEVER HEARD OF CRACKERS IN CAKE OR BREAD😜. That's not original. The spoon should be able to stand up in the cake without falling.

    Once you put the flour in don't use the whisk,fold use a spoon. Don't over mix it the cake will split or fall.

    • @Chubbbbyyyyyy
      @Chubbbbyyyyyy หลายเดือนก่อน

      I am not critical, but personally, I think you over beat the cake batter. The mixture was too watery. At school, we were told to use the spoon method eg. how the batter fall off the spoon to get the right consistency. At the end, the alcohol just stayed on the surface of the cake. I believe it was due to the fact that the cake structure was too soggy.

    Thanks very much for sharing and welldone. However, I think if you had probably assembled all your ingredients before you started, you wouldn't look quite disorganised looking for things like baking powder and the browning (I think that was caramelised brown sugar, not brown food colour), while you keep your viewers waiting. Thanks again.
