Jamaican Black Christmas Cake Recipe - (3.9/5) image

Provided by SFCook

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 cups mixed dried fruits (raisins, currants, prunes, citron, cherries, dates)
3 cups port wine
3 cups white rum (preferably Appleton)
1/2 pound butter
1/2 pound granulated sugar (brown sugar is traditional but Valrie says granulated dissolves quicker)
6 eggs
12 ounces all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon browning
1 teaspoon Benjamin vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
2 teaspoon lemon juice

Steps:

  • Preparing Fruits for Baking: Wash fruit well. Soak fruits in 2 cups port wine and 2 cups rum for at least 4 weeks before baking. To bake the cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch baking tin with butter or margarine. Line the tin with wax paper. Mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, and continue beating until mixture is smooth. Add flour and baking powder and continue to mix. Blend in browning, vanilla, almond, nutmeg, allspice, and lemon juice. In a blender or processor, grind fruits and add to mixture. Add 1 cup rum and 1 cup wine and mix well. Place in oven. Cake is baked when a knife is inserted into center of cake and comes out clean. Check cake after an hour. This will make approximately 4 pounds of cake. If you're baking it weeks or months in advance, continue basting it periodically with wine.
