Q; What is a black cake or dark fruit cake?
A: A black cake is a cake that is made lovingly with sweet spices and fruits that have been soaking in a variety of alcohol (rum, red wine, brandy, sherry, port) for a long period of time. A Jamaican black cake must have Jamaican rum and wine and it should be dark in color. Then that fruit mix is added to a prepared (from scratch) cake batter with darkening such as burnt sugar or molasses to give it a dark or black color. Some people like to leave whole cherries and raisins in their cake to give it some bite. Most people however, prefer their black cake to be smooth and refined. The cake should be very moist and flavorful. You can eat it with royal icing or a rum-vanilla glaze to add a little sweetness as this cake is not too sweet on it's own. Black cakes are usually eaten at the most special of events like weddings or birthdays. You could give it to someone as a gift at Holiday time as well.
Q: How much rum is in Sweet T's Jamaican black cakes and rum cakes?
A: I usually add Lots of rum to my cakes unless directed otherwise.
It makes the cake have a strong taste of alcohol. Which many people prefer. When ordering a cake with plenty of rum added the cake needs to rest before eating to let the rum and flavors of the cake come together. That is why Black cake taste better the longer it sits. Especially because Sweet T's Black cakes are made fresh to order. This way you can have your cake in your home getting better everyday.
Then there are some who like a more mild tasting cake.
If you are not a fan of a lot of rum I can customize the cake and make the rum content less. The cake will still be very moist but more suitable to many different tastes. On my site I offer a customized cake for every order that way your black cake will be exactly as you imagined it. Just let me know exactly what you would prefer.
