Loved mum's facial reaction to the milk question lol, my mum would have done the same :)

[@TheStarvingLunatic]

These recipes have been amazing. I love the addition of Auntie, she sweet too bad. I really love the dynamics of them together.

[@Natamic26]

This looks amazing. Similar to how my late granny used to make it. The bitters are a must. Merry Christmas.

Well done, enjoyed watching you make this Rum Cake.

That cake looks so delicious... I will certainly try this.

[@xiomaralewis1002]

Wow... I love the easy steps and explanations. Didn’t know one could spray the cake with the rum before it's fully cooked. Always did it immediately after baking. Will definitely try it this year. THANK YOU!!!

[@charris6500]

Want to try this for sure

[@2jaysmum262]

Ladies, you had me tearing up here. Lovely video!!! When I looked at both of you, I saw me and my mother in her kitchen baking our Christmas cakes together. We bake about nine cakes in one big batch in a big tub. She's mixing and I am passing the ingredients and holding the stool that the tub is standing on. We ole talk and reminisce on all kinds of long-time stories (just like you did). I just love that time with her. This year I am trying to surprise her by baking them myself (wish me luck). But just looking at you two, I am now tempted to just let the cat out of the bag so that we can do it together. Oh... she does that SAME kind of measurement that you did with the Angostura Bitters..one, two and a long or big last one 🙂Seasons Greetings to both of you lovely ladies.

[@eatahfood]

Such lovely memories. Thank you so much for sharing and seasons greetings to you as well.

[@NosyPosey]

Yes, I think you should do it together. Instead of a surprise which would be for your satisfaction, give her the memory of the whole experience that will be much more satisfying for the both of you. Maybe, you can even record it, to look back at long after she's no longer with you. Wish I still had my mummy to bake with.

[@dezreneranger8694]

[@madeleinegeorge27]

This so reminds me of my mother and her friends’ Christmas cake-baking sessions. We had the neighbourhood old fashion stone oven in our yard, so the assembling was full and busy during the holidays. The competition was on 😊 Fond memories. Please advise your browning recipe. Thank you.

[@tressanallenmartin9336]

Great video 🇯🇲

[@nicolabarnes1787]

Great video and recipe. Would love the recipe for soaking the fruits as well. Dried fruits to alcohol. Thank you.

[@karemelambie6231]

I like this method I hate the taste of molasses also... thank u for sharing 😍😍😍👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

[@patsywilliams7029]

I would have added the fruits before the flour, that way is less mixing for the flour

These lovely ladies have a fabulous browning, would love to know how they get it so thick and nice for the cake mixture. Can a video be made showing this thanks? Ladies what a lovely cake. Thanks for sharing

We'll be doing a video on the browning so stay tuned for that 🙂

[@roxannejoseph7213]

YES I WAS I !THINKING THE SAME THING...WOULD LOVE TO TRY THIS CAKE@@eatahfood

[@Meme_0h3]

I've been looking for a Christmas cake recipe that i can "relate" with. And i found this, i love it and I'll be baking this ❤. Can i frost this? And what's the alternative for rum spray you used?

[@eatahfood]

You sure can! If you don't have a spray bottle you can just do the mixture of Cherry Brandy and rum then pour it onto the cake.

[@Honeypepper.]

So Badwai the filming that happens on the channel is that in your own personal home kitchen? I was always curious of that

[@eatahfood]

Yep!

[@joycelynparks4386]

How many cups of flour is that?

[@juliawhitten183]

Browning is the same that you would use for your stew like oxtail?

[@eatahfood]

Yep! Same browning.

[@aHsydRAIN]

Can you substitute browning for molasses?

[@eatahfood]

@@aHsydRAIN Yep, molasses is the more popular ingredient for Black Cake.

[@staylor1244]

. . . But as she says, it has a distinct taste.

[@aHsydRAIN]

@@staylor1244 lol. I asked the question at the start of the video. It was answered on the video. 🙏

Can we get a homemade browning tutorial?

I am drunk just looking at the video. My grandmother's recipe similar, but call for milk ...i will try it this way.

[@wilsondevon3214]

The recipe said 340 grams flour which works out to 1 cup is that an error or am i using the wrong conversion...how many cups of flour actually?

[@nicolabarnes1787]

340g would be 2 3/4 cups of flour.

[@euklinrichards7444]

Any baking powder

[@eatahfood]

Yes there's baking powder in it.

[@markied2873]

Normally a tablespoon per cup of flour

[@pamelamaxwell7110]

Yes I've always used bitters. Either rum cake or plain cake. Love the smell

I enjoyed the video, however, I would have preferred the measurements in pounds and ounces.

[@eatahfood]

Thank you! These are more precise measurements for bakers to achieve the intended results. But you can do the conversion if you like

[@vyjananjankiepersad8522]

Angostura your bitters is not original because it’s brown in color not pink in color and that cheap mixed you selling you rubbing we the people who can do something about this or drop your prices

[@tarasahadeo1962]

Why is it Fortay grams. What is wrong with Forty there us NO a in the word. Trying to sound posh is soooo ludicrous.

[@staylor1244]

I don’t know who you are, but I do know how ignorant and unkind you are. You’ve made that blatantly obvious. This mother and daughter are sharing their family’s way of making traditional black cake. It interests me because my mother was born and raised in Trinidad and she also made her own browning sauce, but like her daughter said, it was just always there, I never really knew what it was. To someone who is now approaching 80, my mother feels closer to me now than ever before, and this Christmas I’m going to make a damn rummy black cake. I don’t have the huge glass crocks full of dried fruit soaking in rum and Angostura bitters, and lemon for months, but I compensate. So you see, it matters to me. My mother and father also spoke as they do. If you’re knowledgeable about history, you’ll know that until 1962, Trinidad was a part of the British West Indies, it flew the British flag and the British language melded into local accents. It happens. It’s not a crime or anything to get your panties in a twist about. Try to be kind. The rewards are much greater. 🙂
