@coppersulphate002 sorry im just getting back to u. i basically followed her recipe as far as how to prepare it but i used diffrent ingredients…i used bajan rum and red port wine. Its important like this women said to soak your fruit as long as u can, it will increase the flavor I could send u the list of ingredients i used if u want because I used more fruits then this women if im not mistaken.
No no in jamaica its called christmas cake or rum cake
@cnwms21 hey there!! Im a bajan myself who lives in Canada and I just loovvvvee Black cake! My mom was the best ever, but she is far away from me. I would really love to know how to make black cake: can you give me the proper bajan recipe for it ?

thank you sooo much . i will be making my own black cake . last year i bought two from my “BROTHER” for $35. each and it tasted like pudding. so i vow never to ever buy another black cake, i will make my own with help from your recipe.

@Ionization2020 Not everyone pronounces it that way, I know plenty caribbean people who pronounce it like her, is only Trini people who pronounce it ka-RI-be-an

@GTVEVEMAN Black cake is a traditional Christmas cake which is made in all English speaking West Indian colonies including Guyana. I’m from Trinidad, my parents are from Grenada, my grandparents are from Barbados, St. Vincent and St. Lucia and they all made black cake for Christmas.
@Ionization2020 actually. it can be pronounced either way depending on the persons accent or just way they want to say it.. I say it like she does but my grandma says it your way, either way is nor right or wrong.
Black Cake Is A Traditional Cake From Guyana. My Family Make it During The Christmas Time or Special Event
Good video but your pronouncing Carribean wrong. Its KA-RIB-BE-AN. not KAH-RIB-BE-AN.
