WITH LOVE ❤️AND BEST DISHES 🍽,
RIA B.
WOW WOW WOW. I have been baking for a loooooooong time but my black cake never came out as good as when I followed your recipe. It just never seemed perfect enough. I am so proud to present the perfect black cake now, moist, tasty and looking darn good. My dear mum who has passed away now, had her fruits soaking for a year, I added some more and kept it soaking for another year, 2 and a half years altogether with some good Trinidad rum. Thank you so much for your recipe, my cakes are absolutely perfect!!!!
Ms RIA this is one of the best presentations I've ever seen, your measurements on point, you speak well and your demonstration awesomely beautiful I'm so grateful to have seen this video thank you
My granny use to have black cake hiding from Xmas just for Easter. Now here I am under lockdown and baking up a storm. Thanks Ria my house smells devine. To the world my prayers goes out. Much luv from Trinidad
Tried this and I had to subscribeee. My first time making fruit cake and it came out perfecttt. I only made 1 cake. I used 2 eggs, and halved the flour and sugar. I added lime zest and a pinch of salt. Will try again in a month or 2. I want to soak the fruits for more than a day. Thx again. It was so good I had to subscribe.
The soaking of fruits already had me not bothering to cancel any orders 😂, plenty work goes into making a real good black cake,and it's worth it!
Thanks for the video Ria. I'm making black cake for the first time this year (2020). I'm checking out a few Trini cooking how-to videos. So far yours is the least daunting. I just bought my fruits. I'm putting them to soak this evening. Step one ✔ 😃
I especially like adding the Bambarra Rum from Turks and Cacious islands to the Black fruit cake !!! I
This year is my first time making Christmas/Black, I will definitely be trying your recipe Ria. Can’t wait!😛

Hi Ria great video as always❤
Hi..can this cake be made without eggs?
If yes, what can I replace the eggs with?
Cake looks great by the way 😊
Hi Ria I cannot make cake with eggs and rum because they are vegetarian i only makes eggless cakes but I love black cake my sister makes it eggless I take a little piece of cake from her Ria are the children your children they are cute sis. enjoy weekend bye .
Sandra Mahadeo Hi Sandra. I have never had eggless cake. I must try it one day. What does your sister replace the egg with in her black cake? Those are my sister’s children. They love being in the kitchen with me. Enjoy your Sunday and have a great week sis.
Hello! What does your sister use as an egg replacement?
How can I make this without egges? It looks delicious by the way!
Bradlee297 I wouldn’t know ! If I come upon that info in the future, I’ll be sure to let you know! 😀Thanks for stopping by!
Hello Ma'am, thank you for this. If i want to bake this in regular sized muffin tins, at what temperature and for how long do you suggest please?
@@CookingWithRia Thank you Ma'am! I will try it!
CAN A BLACK CAKE. BE MADE WITHOUT EGGS ??? Thank you very much foe your channel 🎈
Hi Ria, this is Ria 😂. Just wanted to know if there are any substitutes for the rum if you want to make a non-alcoholic black cake? Thank you! Happy holidays to you and your family 😊
You can use Grape Juice, or Malt, or Guiness or any Stout.
Excellent👍👍 but I loved the texture of the cake made with your mother's fruit...I have found the longer the fruit is soaked results in a moister cake. I also prefer to use brown sugar for fruit cakes..the darker colour. 0
Yes it's always moister--but the other is just as delicious too--if one can't wait a whole year to bake a cake. Brown sugar is great as well! Thanks for stopping by. Happy Holidays!
Hi, I know this vid is old but my sister tried to make a black cake. The cake came out more like a brownie texture and was not dense. What is the reason for this. Thank you
Tried this recipe twice, it was amazing, however, the fruits are at the middle and the flour floats to the top, can you say why?
Im looking for a more moist cake, how can i achieve that? Im wondering if its the pans im using?
Ria what can be substituted for eggs? Please advise. Thanks.
Hi Ria, is your cake more on the pudding side or the caky side? Am looking for a black cake recipe more on the caky texture .
Hi Sherry. I would say more of a cake. Thanks.
@@CookingWithRia how do I achieve a pudding texture?
I was born in Guyana
Hi Ria, do you have a recipe for light fruit (sponge) cake?
Not yet!
Thanks for sharing this recipe can u please tell me what brand of the coloring u used ?
I didn't use coloring. I used browning --brands shown on the video--if that's what you need. Click on the link below for the printable recipe.
@@CookingWithRia yes browning :D spur tree it is I just checked thank you.
Beautiful babies! Should you be able to feel the little pieces of mixed peel while eating it? I soak every year for a year in rum and cherry brandy and blend them. and still feel these pieces but I'm not sure if this is normal? Some don't like that texture.. I was thinking of using less or leaving it out.
Thanks! I don't as well. *Soak longer* or put it in the blender or food processor --make it smoother.
Hi you said 2 pound of soaked fruit, do you know approximately how much cups that is?
Hi. Here is the printable recipe;
I have a note about the quantity to use for pre soaked fruits-2 - 2 1/2 cups. Check it out for more details:

How much cups of fruits did u use
Lmao your commentary is hilarious
Season greetings Ria, my family and I love your recipes but would love to be able to print them out. The website is not updated so it makes it very hard to maneuver.
Thank you for letting me know.
Can you try this link?

Let me know if it still does not work .
@@CookingWithRia The recipe is there but it is protected, therefore it is preventing it from being printed.
@@sherryabdool84 ok now I understand. I will work on the printable format for this today. Sorry about that.
@@CookingWithRia you're welcome :) Thank you so much
@@sherryabdool84 Now updated withi a printable recipe and link to the specific products I use. Please let me know if it works and thanks again.
Is it ok to use cake flour instead of ALL Purpose flour?
Vanity Pommelli never tried with Cake flour, sorry. Let me know if you do and result.
I recently finished a baking class and I'm not satisfied with the recipe for black cake we were thought I like mine very gooey... but the recipe we did was more thick and a bit fluffy in a way.... and the instructor had to add about half the bottle of coloring the came turned out too sweet..... n not black enough.
I'm sorry to hear, especially if you paid for the class? The video above is free --as well as the recipe in the link! Please watch the video and read the recipe and give it a try!
@@CookingWithRia unfortunately yes I did pay thanks for sharing your videos they are very helpful
The page to the recipe isn’t working! Anyone has the measurements of ingredients?
Here it is thanks.
