You have the best black cake recipe on CZcams ❤❤❤
Thank you 😊
Racquet I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart. You know your thing mam!!!! My cake came out like my granny’s black cake, may her soul rest in peace.
Wow 🤩…. Awww 🥰
You are most welcome Ginelle ❤️❤️
I am happy you like 👍🏾
May your granny rest in perfect peace 🙏🏾
My first time ever making Black Cake. I used your recipe and a wave of nostalgia ran through me after the first bite as if my mom was the one that baked it. I shared it with some family members and they too loved the taste. There was 1 family member that mentioned that it was good but needed to be a little darker in color. But like you, I too don't like my Black Cake too dark so I used the same browning measurement as you did and explained to that family member that they can have it darker the way they liked it WHEN THEY BAKED THEIR OWN. (I was really thinking....Eat, Be thankful and Shut Up!). 🤣 Thanks again for sharing.😇
Exactly! Lol 😂 🤭🤣
It was my pleasure honey, I am so happy you enjoy ❤️
Happy Easter and May God bless you richly ❤️❤️
Just like that my mom (RIP my Queen) and auntie Anne made theirs too. Grenada the Island of Spice in the house😘 Big up to ALL Caribbean Kings & Queens😍🤗❤
😊😊😊😊♥️♥️
🇯🇲🇹🇹🇬🇩🇬🇾🇱🇨
One link
Every year I come here 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Aww 🥰
😂
Sounds like me
I am so glad you gave the measurements too. I prepared everything and put to the side before I started!!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing!! After the huge success with your sweet potato pudding recipe, I decided to try your fruit cake recipe tonight. Another success! The cake is super moist, and super delicious. Thank you and keep up the great work.
Thank you too 😊
It was my pleasure ❤️
Girl you definitely got this recipe perfect, im a baker as well much older than you and you didn't miss a step ,excellent work.
Aww 🥰
Thank you so very much Miss Claudette, appreciate this 😘
What do I do to get it as dense as that one instead of them eating as pudding
Rightfully so. I am a senior citizen also and this is the first recipe I have found on CZcams that is done in excellence.

Follow her instructions and definitely you can't go wrong; this is a perfect recipe! I've been making many type of cakes for the past 52 years and continuing so when I tell you that this recipe is perfect, IT IS believe me!
Awwww 😘😘
52 years!!! Wow !!😯
Thank you so much Skinny Dee appreciate this a million 😘😘😘
Never thought of this as a holiday cake because I want this all year round. 👍🏽💕
😂😂
Me too
😜😄
Me too 😂
You're right! I do make this cake a few times throughout the year!
I baked my first one from August. Lol
Good recipe and I love the measurements. I'm accustomed to being told to add a toops of this, and a dash of that. One thing I have to add though - wax paper should not go into the oven. It is not heat proof and the wax will melt into your baking pan. Parchment paper is the one you want to use for baking. Otherwise, a very good recipe that I'll try soon. thank you.
2023, and your recipe saved my Christmas cake. Thank you❤
I tried your recipe for Christmas and oh boy it was delicious. Everyone loved it. I make black cake every Christmas but there is something special about this one. Thank u for sharing and may God bless u abundantly in this Holy Week. I am making one for Easter weekend
Thank you 😊😊❤️❤️
Racquel I just want to thank you for this recipe. For years I bought countless cakes, wishing I could make my own. A couple days ago my Godmother and followed your recipe and it came out just like yours for our first attempt. Thanks to you we never have to buy another black cake. I look forward to sharing your recipe with others
Aww 🥰
I want to thank you for your kind feedback Neil, and you are so very welcome 🤗
Blessings to you and your Godmother ❤️
Thanks very much for your cake recipe you share and explain it so good I'm going to try it
Thank you so much for this recipe. I’ve been waiting for my aunt to teach me. I used your recipe and my cake came out amazing. I was asked to bake more cakes by family and friends. God bless you Racquel🙏🏾
My pleasure darling 😊
Oh goodness! My husband and I honeymooned in Jamaica ( Treasure Beach) 25+ years ago and we ate lots of this cake. Perfect with a cup of Blue Mountain Coffee with sweet cream .
This lady is good at everything she does, I followed her instructions last year and my cake came out perfect. A big thumbs up to you 🥰
Awww 🥰
I thank you Paulette 😘😘
Bless up !
The instructions are simple. I tried this cake last year and got so many compliments.
I love your recipe .. sometimes I couldn't get my cake the way I wanted it this gave me closure 😊 thank you 🥰
This looks delicious. I grew up in Grenada eating this cake every Christmas, and only my grand aunts nailed this cake.
Best recipe on the NET...
I have been trying to bake a black /rum cake for years. I haven’t got it right yet. Your recipe is the best I have seen. I will definitely follow your steps and let you know how it came out.👍👍
I tried your recipe over Christmas and it was delicious. I add Rica orange juice along with the cake wine because I don't use alcohol. It was perfect. Thanks for sharing.
This is how my mom and grand parents taught me. You have it right girl
Racquel, I must say thank you a million times. For a very long time I wanted to try and make my own black cake but just never took the leap. Well, over the Christmas holidays you actually gave me the confidence to make my own and my family and I loved it. Your recipe was very easy to follow and the way you explained every detail of the recipe makes it so much easier. This has been such a hit for my family and l, that at this very moment as I’m typing this message, I am baking up a batch for my aunt’s send off/repast which is coming up in a few days. Awesome job again and thank you for sharing. 🙏🏾❤️
Thank you for the feedback Kerriann, really appreciate you taking the time to show your gratitude 🙏🏾
You are most welcome my dear, and I am so happy your cake was a hit, and that you and your family loved it, these feedbacks makes my day, and give the the drive to continue my cooking tutorial journey.
Thank you darling, and May God bless you and yours ❤️
