If you ever dreamt of a wedding cake that will literally melt in your
mouth with each bite, then you have to try the rum fruitcake from
Trinidad and Tobago.
The cake, which is commonly known as “black cake” on the island,
combines the ingredients of currants, prune and maraschino cherries,
which are soaked in a full bottle of rum or brandy for two- five days prior
to baking.
The result of this offers you a chance to bite into a cake that is
mouth-watering and absolutely succulent. It’s no wonder the cake is the
most anticipated and a sure winner with wedding guests.
Trinidad black fruit wedding cake is really an adaptation of the
Christmas pudding, which originated in England. The pudding was also used at
weddings and it would be baked with the rings of the couple hidden
inside.
The idea of adding a bottle of rum or brandy to the black fruit wedding
cake is to be able to preserve it. Therefore it is possible for the
bride and groom to enjoy their wedding cake on their first wedding
anniversary. The taste is as exceptional as the day it was first baked.
Not only reserved for when the bride and groom says “I do”, this
cake is also traditionally enjoyed around the Christmas holiday season by
natives.
