Jamaican black cake is thought to be derived from the British figgy pudding, but with an island twist. While it has traditionally been thought of as a Christmas cake, it is actually baked and eaten all year round. A dark, rich fruit cake for wine and fruit lovers! This is a recipe I use at Christmas and for Birthdays.

I prefer to use Jamaican Red Label Wine and White Rum. Jamaican cake is a deliciously spiced, warming bake that is perfect for the colder months. Try this instead of your normal Christmas cake and you'll never look back. But remember, the key is steeping the cake in plenty of rum during the run up to the festivities!
