Epic Caribbean Rum Cake VEGAN

[@Baby-lb7mp]

you're making my Caribbean vegan dreams come true

[@stacyvegan6855]

I'm Jamaican this is my second year as a vegan and i was really missing eating rum cake.. So thank you a million.

[@ThisInfiniteLife]

Rachel! This is brilliant. I grew up cooking and baking with my Granny back in Trinidad. I agree...the smell of creaming butter and brown sugar is very nostalgic. When I bake with our kids now, we use the liquid from a can of garbanzo beans as a binder to veganize my Granny's recipes and it never fails (3 tbsp = 1 egg). Btw, vegan Baileys (made with almond milk) would go down smoooothe with a slice of this!! And YES, we had rum cake with icing at everyone's wedding, lol. Thanks for sharing. 💚💚💚

[@natalieprantner7528]

Omg! This is amazing! 😋 i'm'going to make it for Christmas. Do youthink It is possibile to omit the sugar and have the same result?

[@laurafere2290]

Do you/can you beat the liquid to fluff up the recipe. I guess what I'm asking is can you beat the liquid like someone would beat egg whites?

[@lorilori1603]

🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹 Woohoo trinis in the comment section

[@thebirdisblue]

Laura Fere yes you can :) if you look up ‘aqua dabs’ online there will be lots of info and recipe ideas

[@laurafere2290]

@@thebirdisblue Thanks!

[@barbiegirl4224]

Rachel thank you so much for this recipe. As a Jamaican and vegan I have to have cake. .

[@Chrissanthumum]

Is there anyone who gets happy feelings opening up the container of soaking fruit and inhaling the aroma of the fruit and alcohol? I had under a tesspoon of my soaked fruit yesterday..and I feel like having some more right now!Man must live!Who's with me?

[@riagq2022]

Hi Rachel. I am from the Caribbean and I think you did an awesome job at making the rum cake which we also call "Black cake". Keep up the great job. Loved it.

[@maripa971]

for those who don't use alcohol, try few handful of candied ginger to give the cake this rhum taste

[@maryapatterson]

This is Caribbean rum cake designed in the days in the Caribbean when there were no cars .....lol. In other words please do not drink and drive or take certain medications with this cake. Carribean rums are 40% proof! And If you are feeding this cake regularly.... Five-0 will smell it on your breath. So just in case. Best served : It goes well on its own, slightly warmed with vinalla ice-cream. Other combinations include Baileys, brandy butter.

[@aliciah247]

Who else watches this video every year to make a banging vegan fruit cake????

[@YahkiYah_Yisrael]

I make it every year - learned from my beloved mother and will not use any other rum but Wrey & Nephews!!! Its the best but I always soak my fruits in red ruby VP wine for a year. I don't celebrate Christmas anymore, but my family always ask me to bake their cake, I always use eggs and it comes out light n fluffy. One day I'm going to try your recipe Rachel and let you know if I like it which I'm sure I will.

[@TheVeganTwins]

This looks delicious as always! So... after years of being vegan and watching and being inspired by my favorite vegan youtubers (including you of course!) my twin sister and I finally decided to start our own Vegan Cooking Channel! We've wanted to make videos for years but always gave ourselves excuses like: "We need professional lighting", "Our kitchen isn't nice enough", "Our filming equipment isn't good enough"... etc. But we finally just decided to hell with the excuses! The predicaments are never gonna be perfect and that's ok! Because our first and foremost objective is to get our recipes out to the vegan community! And hopefully even curious meat eaters. Being vegan is our life and cooking/baking vegan is our passion. There's been so many trials and errors and coming from an ethnic family there have been so many recipes that we couldn't find veganized online so we had to make them ourselves. So we really just wanted to share our wisdom and love and passion with the community that we feel so belonged to. I apologize for the self promotion but we know how supportive the vegan community can be and we think that ultimately there's no shame in reaching out for support. We are just super excited to start our journey and appreciate it if you check out our channel. We hope that whoever reads this comment has an amazing day, joyful holidays, and a happy life. 💜 The Vegan Twins

[@kumaxtalk]

Love your vids ! Love how authentic and real you are and how hard ur working to put real vegan food out there that have flavour

[@zOYAlove215]

Sis you are so much appreciated. I'm half Jamaican, so videos like this really do help me on my journey to become vegan.

[@laydeeqd]

I'm so happy you shared this and gave a bit of history on what we do with our cakes !

[@janicehamilton8236]

Wow....... just wow.. Rachel you did it!!! I can see how moist and natural it is.. I lovvvvve it. Thanks for sharing this your version of Jamaican black fruit cake ( rum cake).👏👏👏👏🙌🙌🙌🙌❤❤

[@ysamuel4584]

Love, love, LOVE this recipe. Bought all ingredients that I didn't have so I could try it. Dried fruit were soaking for a few weeks and I made the cake last night. I didn't use uncle wray, used Sainsbury's own dark and white rum, as well as a cherry red wine. The consistency is very moist; a bit too moist for my liking. However, the flavour is banging. In reflection I think I added too much of the fruit. For a first time making a vegan Caribbean rum cake though I'm impressed. All that's needed is to drizzle some more rum on top lol. Thank you so much for the recipe!!!!!!!

[@juliesweets824]

Flaxseed can be used to replace the eggs. Very nice.

[@NeishaNineStarz]

Rum cake was definitely a staple growing up Jamaican/Trinidadian ❤️for the holidays.

[@Chrissanthumum]

Ooooo! She's making her browning sauce?Respect!

[@kaymac49]

Super Yum! This reminds me of the Jamaican Black Cake that Our Friend of The Family use to make for us for the Holidays ⭐

[@lys7673]

Girl,i cant thank u enough.Ive been looking for a vegan rum cake for the longest.This looks delicious.Thank u sooooooo much.I will definitely try this.

[@Adele-d9k]

Have two year old fruit soaking in Rum and this is the best vegan version I've EVERRRRR seen. Will be making this next month God willing for sure.Thank you. Hope mine comes out as good as yours.

[@aprajacobs9758]

I'VE BEEN SEEKING A VEGAN VERISON SO, THANK YOU MY DEAR.

[@justjo8567]

This video is shot so beautifully

[@ohcarolina8671]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I've been soaking my fruit since October, but I've was putting off making a rum cake because it's my first vegan one and I didn't want it to go wrong. You more or less made it the way my mum and I used to make it (without the eggs of course), but I couldn't work out how I was going to make it successfully without the 6 eggs in the original recipe. I'll give your recipe a go for sure. And yes, Wray and Nephew all the way with Guinness (so glad it's vegan) and ginger wine or cherry brandy ( or both lol)

[@oliviaoconnell5407]

I wanted to make this cake for Christmas this year but cannot find where to buy Red Label. Do you know whether the Red Label can be substituted for with ginger wine?

[@ohcarolina8671]

[@oliviaoconnell5407]

[@earthlyria3396]

this looks amazing... even though baking is not my forte (90% of what I bake has never come out right), I'm willing to try this rum cake out!! Let's loose it a little. Let the nostalgia begin with each bite

[@lizmortley6356]

Thank you for sharing. Now I excited to make a black cake for Christmas. I hope it turn out well. We usually have this cake for Christmas , weddings and special occasions. Happy holidays to you and your family.

It was lovely and moist.

[@jbrown9078]

Loved reaction of rachel when tasting cake

[@redprincess36]

Rumcake is my fav cake and I have been asked if I do a vegan version so I will be trying out this recipe. I've never used browning in my cakes b4 as I am not a fan of artifical ingredients so thank you for the tip on creating your own.

[@jennifergraham612]

Thanks for sharing your receipt

[@paulfitzgerald1225]

Amazingly creative

[@debbiespencer3294]

Thank you so much for your recipe. My friend is a vegan and I have to make her a black and this is perfect.

Update update the cake came out superb with the butter/flour ratio!!! I was so tired and worried. Thank you so much for sharing!!!

Love Love it ... definitely going to try this ... Also grew up making Rum cakes with my Dad round the Holidays .. Awesome video .... Thanks

[@Michellelinks100]

I definitely will try this

[@CREOLE_]

Can't wait to try this recipe. The holidays are nearing. 🎄😋😁

[@piecesbykeke]

Hello Rachel, I make this every year vegan of course. I made one year with Holland & Barrett’s rum and raisin (non alcoholic) 🥰😋😋 I also add dried pineapple and mango 🥭

[@christinaarundale8583]

I know this isn't exactly the same thing, but this rum cake reminds me of the Kentucky Bourbon Batterbread that we make at the bakery where I work. My owners use a locally brewed bourbon to soak all of the fruit, and I believe they do it for 9-12 months or so. When they finally make all of the loafs, they use that as their supply for the entire year, because as you said, the alcohol preserves it. We sell them around the time of the Kentucky races, as well as during Christmas time.🙂

[@vanessaandrews3723]

I'm going to make this for Christmas. Looks good!

CHRISTMAS!! My mom and Aunt are the pro's on making the Rum cake. We soak for 1+ year or years in Manischvitz and Wray and nephew whit rum, we only soak raisins and black currants ( smaller version of a raisin). But want to try the vegan one for my wedding cause my fiance is Pescatarian he only eats seafood.

[@ceefaithfull8534]

Hi Rachel, you have hit home. I am from Trinidad and I love this cake! last night I was thinking how can I make this without the non-vegan butted, white flour, white sugar, and eggs. Nice to see what you did sharing a taste of different cultures. This cake is made for weddings in Trinidad with chocolate incorporated.

We do the speed version of the fruit soak and use J.Wray&Nephew White Rum and Red Label Wine! It's an absolute MUST to have them😉😄 I bake with my Mom, Sister and two of my nieces (to pass on the tradition). I'm not vegan but this recipe looks interesting... I might try it with eldest niece who likes to experiment with me! Blessings...😊 🇯🇲

[@RheRheSmily]

I basicly did the same thing but added sea moss gell with it to replace the egg.

[@likklemissnats]

How did you find that? x

[@RheRheSmily]

My sister get it for me at the market in Brixton. I guess it depends where you live. If you live in the Caribbean it's a lot easier to get you hand on. You might find it in some health food shop.

[@MadnomadM]

Looks amazing! Will give it a go. Wondering if there is a preferred vegan butter brand... one without palm oil/kernel or canola oil? I never use it but have looked at labels in the past while attempting to use it. I don’t care for sickening sweet desserts but even if this was, the alcohol would be worth it... I’d just add a scoop of vanilla nice cream 😁

[@maryapatterson]

Non alcoholic cake I've used fruits like dried pears, cherries and cranberries etc and soaked them in a non alcoholic mulled wine.

[@cathylynnpietranton]

Hi Rachel you look very pretty and you sound like you still might have your cold.the Caribbean Rum cake looks delicious.
