I never made a black cake until I came across your recipe. So easy and a lovely recipe. Thank you so much. Love you sister Ash. Also thank you for mentioning Metemgee in your video. Between you and her I made an awesome black cake. Bless up and stay up.
I have to make this..since my mom pass(13 years now) and my mother in law (two years now) I realize I would never this again if I don’t make it…can’t wait to try it to honor my moms who I miss daily.. so thank you for this!
I came to your version because like you said black cake shouldn’t be spongy, also the color attracted me because I hate brown looking black cake, I’m so particular with black cake lol. Thank you always for your recipes ❤ happy holidays
Just making healthy criticism or giving a tip though, I know some persons don't care for suggestions nor corrections. I would suggest that five spice not for cakes, it is for savory foods , like fried rice and chowmein noodles .
Hi Ash, morning. I made the black fruit cake and browning from scratch following your step by step recipe. It turn out realy good and the taste is so good, best fruit black cake i ever made. Thanks for sharing your reipes. All the best for the holidays and the new year 2023.
Hi Ash, I came across your channel a couple of weeks ago, I try one of your recipe, and it’s the black cake, omg it came out beautiful. Thank you love. God bless you and your family. Y’all have a merry Christmas and a healthy New year 💗
Thanks Ash for posting this, I am making my 2nd black/rum cake in Life (lol) followed all your steps and now excited at the result especially since I'm doing it by hand no fancy mixer avail....
Wow that’s impressive I applaud you for that , I remember back in the days how hard it was , mixing it by hand , I’m so happy you can enjoy this recipe thanks for your love and support 😍happy holidays
Wow well explained A2Z spoken to n understanding recipe black fruit cake to a supper results, im pleased n happy watching ur post from TANGA Tanzania Shalom.
I will try this cake. It looks amazing! Im a practicing Muslim so cannot use Alcohol. I will use sparkling grape juice instead. How many days should I soak the cake?
Enjoy sis yes u can substitute the alcohol with the juice instead, soak as needed meaning if your cake is looking dry out you can add juice accordingly
Right across from the name of the recipe (black cake) there is a V click on it and you will see a drop down box and all the measurements and ingredients will be there thanks 🙏
Hello hun, what butter do you recommend instead of the one you mentioned.. we don't have that brand in Canada. Also, the tin pans - do you butter and flour to grease or just butter?
Hi hun don’t know what kind of butter or brands you have in Canada any good brand of unsalted butter would be fine, yes u can butter and flour your pan or just butter it alone either would be fine
Great video for the black cake but I never heard of five spice in black cake i know about all spice don't know if it's a mistake you made or that's one of your ingredients
Hi Ash salaam, can you please do a black cake without Alcohol, because I don't use any Alcohol at all so I can try making black cake since it is one of my favorite cakes
Hey love what brand of wine should I get? And what brand of rum should I use? My cake has icing on top and not enough liquor in it. What should I do? How can I get it to soak if I already iced my cake?
Hi hun any brand of wine or dark rum is fine , now there is only two way I can think of 1 poke some holes on the top of the icing and gentle pour your alcohol into the cake and just cove the holes up back with icing or some sort of edible decorations, 2nd add the cake to a pan that is a little bigger than the cake and pour the run directly into the pan and the cake should absorb it , let me know the outcome, happy holidays ❤️
You can turn the cake over onto plastic wrap..so the bottom part is ti the top. You can then poke some holes in the cake with a skewer and use a spoon to pour a mixture of rum and wine on the cake. After it is absorbed simply turn the cake over so the icing will be back at the top. Hope this helps.
I used your recipe to make my black cake an I must say it’s absolutely delicious 😋 I got 3 9’ cake an it did not last a week I have been eating it everyday lol
Hi Greetings, What kind of wine is best to soak the fruits and to make the carmel? Its great watching you make this cake, brought back many memories during the holidays. God Bless
Hi hun season greetings, any good red wine would do the trick , I used Carlo Rossi it’s a sweet red wine and I also used some dark rum on a few of the pans , hope this was helpful, Thank you for your support ❤️
Ok this is my first attempt at making Guyanese Black Cake...😦 My husband is Guyanese i am French Canadian of course I have to follow his mother's recipe so were going to be banging heads in the kitchen because its Mom's way or no way😏 My question is the carmel or black sugar ( brown sugar and wine mixture ) is it a must that we do this?? His mother is 89 yrs old maybe she forgot to add this in her chicken scratch written recipe 🤔 lol I am so confused about this recipe 😕 We did our fruit mixture with the rum, wine port and brandy a month ago and we have 2 jars with 6 cups of it in each jar so were going to put one jar away for next Christmas We have a small oven that hold and will bake 2 cake pans I also have a Convection Oven thinking I will put a 9x12 glass baking dish so how long would I bake that in the Convection Oven? Needing to Thank you for your videos...I am going with your recipe and I am going to follow it for the 9x12 cake...and he will follow his Mothers recipe for the 2 cake pans... Wish me luck😉
U got this sis u don’t have to do the step with the sugar and wine u can substitute it with store bought burnt sugar or some people use browning this helps to give the cake that rich dark color, for the oven I would go with the same temperature I suggested in the video just keep and eye on the cakes when a toothpick comes out clean u r good 👍 please let me know what is the end results 😍
Mixture of nutmeg, cinnamon, star anise, cloves and I have a link right next to the mixture fruit , just click on it and it will take you the video of the ingredients I used to make my fruit blend

That’s the correct measurement hun 1Lb of all-purpose flour is equivalent to 3 2/3 cups your measurement will depend upon the type of flour you're using because of the varying densities of different flour types if u use a scale and weigh your flour and then measure it out in cups u will have 3 2/3 cups for a lb hope this was helpful

You’re absolutely right this is how Black Cake!!♥️ should look. I had so many people try to make me a cake and they can’t even come close.😢❤
Just a few tips remove the chalaza from the egg and add the essence to the eggs before adding it to the other mixture it helps to cut the eggy scent.
Just making healthy criticism or giving a tip though, I know some persons don't care for suggestions nor corrections. I would suggest that five spice not for cakes, it is for savory foods , like fried rice and chowmein noodles .
Thank u for share it it look good
