I did this recipe last year. Believe it or not, now I'm getting orders. Jus one year ago I couldn't even bake bread. Thank you for posting and sharing your expertise.
Girl I made black cake for the first time using your recipe talk about cake come out nice im so happy thank you so much for sharing I got five cakes out of it
Hi Natasha, I tried your recipe today and my cakes came out great. I was able to make six pans plus one additional small pan for me. I am so amazed how moist and light the cakes are. I had my fruits soaking for a month and used the full bottle of fruits for a rich cake. I will have it soaking in the liquor mix for a few days before I wrap it up and give them out. This is the best recipe thus far. Thx! I am going to get some more fruits and have them soak for a year because as you know making this cake is not cheap. Lol! Blessings always!!!
Just now made these cakes, they're in the oven as I'm typing this. I got one 8 inch, one 8.5 and two loaf pan size. I use your recipe every year...and I get some great reviews...great job Natasha.....thanks so very much, oh I also got a little baby one..lol
Christmas eve 2020...just made this and it came out great!! First time baking fruit cake.. I can share with my friends and family! Thank you so much for sharing this recipe!!
Ok, so I couldn't wait any longer! I made my Christmas Black Cake using your recipe and it is absolutely fabulous. I halved the recipe since I did not want to make too many cakes. Thanks for all of your great recipes and tutorials. 👍🏻😊❤️
I hate when some people come under these videos and dictate. Don't tell people what to do. Everybody does things differently and get the same results. I am tired of people. Natasha , keep doing what you're doing .

Lady you have meh mouth watering here for fruit cake now.......and we now in October 😔😔😔😔. I love it tho.......I'm excited to see what recipes you have upcoming for this Christmas
I'm accustomed ordering my black for this festive season, this year I've decided I will make my own. I was referred by a friend to your channel so I am going to try your recipe this year . Will keep you posted on the end result.
Hello Natasha from Canada you mention in one of your videos that you have baby you must be married congrats thanks for cake recipe Guyana do great cakes too can you please show face you are a beauty I enjoy all of your cooking I hope that the watchers understand that all chef cook different and that it is a matter of preference so as always nice comments are appreciated I am a subscriber
Hi Natasha...I learn from all your post can u do 1 just like this with sponge cake ...or can give me the measurements to make more than 1 sponge cake thanks
loved it, tried it and my cakes came out beautiful,. everyone loved it. i dont like the bits and pieces of the fruits so i usually blend my fruits finer.
Hi Natasha, Love your recipes. My husband is vegan and he misses black cake. Can you please give me tips for making a vegan black cake. The butter isn't a problem but I'm wondering about the eggs. Any suggestions.
Hi Natasha. Do we need two and a half blocks of Blue Band PLUS the five sticks of Sweet Unsalted Butter or did you list that as an average for those who don't have Blue Band? Need to make sure because this is fantastic and I'll be using your recipe this Christmas; Baking black cake for the first time! !♡☆
Natasha, if I wanted to make a pound mix of batter, how many eggs do I need and how many pounds of minced fruit would I need. Also, how many cakes would that make?
Nice recipe. One thing though, blue band is margarine and not butter. There is a huge difference in the end product of whatever you are cooking or baking
hi Natasha,I want to make a non alcoholic version of this cake...what do you suggest I soak the fruits in and for how long?Have you ever tried a non alcoholic version?
I really hope you answer me😬 I love your recipe, one question, after the cake is finished baking and I have to put the alcohol on it everyday, how long will it take to actually eat the cake?
t washington , 2egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 3- 3 1/2 cups icing or confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lime juice, almond essence or anise if u prefer. I used lime juice in a spritz bottle which helps it dry as well. Keep covered with a damp cloth as you work.hope this helps. I have another which I use on other cakes as well.
I have to say i did your recipe and loved how my cake came out. Now my family and my moms friends want me to make for them this year. thank you.
Alia Cumberbatch wownthats really good so happy to hear. start a business? ingredients are not cheap
I know. Someone brought me rum and fruits so that helps.

Hi...can this cake be made without eggs? If yes, what can I replace the eggs with?
Cake looks great by the way 😊
Applesauce
They also have egg substitute
@@smorris7864 thankyou
Hi Natasha,
Love your recipes. My husband is vegan and he misses black cake. Can you please give me tips for making a vegan black cake. The butter isn't a problem but I'm wondering about the eggs. Any suggestions.
julie curepe. thank you there are egg substitutes like a powder you can use.
u did not mention how much flour
its listed below as 6 cups
At wholefood stores one can buy an e replacer in powdered form
Try Regal egg replacer
Hi Natasha, I follow almost all your recipe. Could you please send me your recipe, and measurements how to make milk fudge? Thanks

Hi Natasha. Do we need two and a half blocks of Blue Band PLUS the five sticks of Sweet Unsalted Butter or did you list that as an average for those who don't have Blue Band? Need to make sure because this is fantastic and I'll be using your recipe this Christmas; Baking black cake for the first time! !♡☆
Astral Princess no it's for those who don't have sticks.
Trini Cooking with Natasha Thanks so much.
Natasha, if I wanted to make a pound mix of batter, how many eggs do I need and how many pounds of minced fruit would I need. Also, how many cakes would that make?
Nice thank you for the recipe, but no line or lemon zest? What will take the egg taste away? The liquor will do the job?
Hi, your video says 250 degrees but the description says 350. Which is it?
Its 350
hi Natasha I use ur recipe every year love it...this year i wanted to try d same recipe but with less fruits will it come out ok if I do that ?
I like the way you bake your cakes what's the price.
hi thank you for the video, the oven temperature is F or C?
Would like to try, but i keep getting recipes with pound measuring. Can you tell me how to convert to cups? Is one lb equivalent to 3 cups?
Will try it but I don't drink alcohol
🌲tea spoon of this 🌲 teaspoon of that. thats a high fiber cake
Hi Natasha I want to try my hand this year with this cake but if i have to make like 6 how much flour, butter,sugar and eggs would I have to use
nice
5 sticks of butter is equivalent to how many butter, would be trying this recipe
Would love to see sponge cake and pumpkin pie 😍
Priyanka Mathur here is the link for sponge cake czcams.com/video/DIMXJGO9PvY/video.html

Trini Cooking with Natasha thank u so much !

Approx how many cups of blended fruits did you use in this recipe?
I will love 2 kno
My oven is in Celcius temperature measurements. What temperature do you recommend i use in this case.
how much wine do i have to put jus to cover the fruit not using rum
Enough to cover the fruits.
Wanted to see the texture of the cake
Hi hope all is well about how much cups of fruits you would say you use in the 5 cakes thank you
hi Natasha,I want to make a non alcoholic version of this cake...what do you suggest I soak the fruits in and for how long?Have you ever tried a non alcoholic version?
tawabunga soak it in orange juice or a juice of your choice
Where did you purchase your cake pans? Did you do a measurement for the fruits? E.g 2 cups after blended..
Hi your recipe is perfect i just need to know how long to bake it in foil pan
This recipe looks amazing!!! Just wondering can i use a rum Like Myers to make this cake? or should i stick to white rum. Thank you!!
nennyluv sure u can use myers
Thanks for the help!
nennyluv anytime
Hi natasha hope you get my comment about 5 vegetarian ham love
Here in Florida I have never seen that ham.
I really hope you answer me😬 I love your recipe, one question, after the cake is finished baking and I have to put the alcohol on it everyday, how long will it take to actually eat the cake?
neffy baby you can eat it after an hour and you can all the alcohol at once instead of a few days.
Trini Cooking with Natasha thank you so much!
neffy baby you can eat the cake right alcohol after it has finished baking is a choice for those who like alcohol
In Newfoundland we use molasses
I have been looking for the icing recipe to go with the black cake, does anyone have it?
t washington , 2egg whites, 1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar, 3- 3 1/2 cups icing or confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon lime juice, almond essence or anise if u prefer. I used lime juice in a spritz bottle which helps it dry as well. Keep covered with a damp cloth as you work.hope this helps. I have another which I use on other cakes as well.
Really love this recipe. Is The 6 cups of flour around 28 ounces or 2 lbs.
Nicholas Sampson 24 ozs or 11/2lbs
2 cups is equal to 1lb, so 6 cups is 3lbs.
It's 1 and a half pounds.
Yum 😋 thx❤️
I didn't see the wax paper pan at the end. Was this the same video?
of course its the same video
am not an alcohol drinker but would love to make the cake, can you please recommend what is a substitute for the rum? thank you
Nahla Parker use a fruit juice or creme de cassis only that's not a potent alcoholic drinks it has a great flavour.
