[@CJsKitchenJa]

@@babybridge7830 hi thanks for watching. Try cutting down to 3 pounds of mixture and see how well that works, so if you do 3 pounds butter ,3 pounds sugar, 7 1/2 cups of flour , about 5 pounds of fruits.

Thanks for an excellent video. I do my cake with a pound of everything. Some questions Is there much difference baking the cake in pans then transferring it to the foil pans to give to friends. What is the time for baking? What is the difference in texture by adding the eggs one at a time. That is how my elders taught me. Does the jam make it sweeter? Your response would be appreciated. In which city do you live? Thanks.

[@CJsKitchenJa]

Thank you! I'm in Orange, New Jersey. So the eggs and the lime helps to make the cake firmer I find. Also, the jam does add sweetness to the cake so you can remove some of the sugar, that is optional though. I suggest you bake it in the foil pans directly just to eliminate the stress of transferring it and the cake baked in a cake pan might not hold in the foil pan. Plus you'll have less washing up to do! Haha!

Hi, thanks for watching my video to make 55 7 inch cake. Wow , I would say for each cake you need at least a 1/2 lbs of fruits. Because we’re making a fruit cake do you want to make sure you have enough fruits in there. I hope that helps.

Can't get burnt sugar what amount of browning can I use for the 5lbs mixture

[@CJsKitchenJa]

Hi thanks for watching my video😊 you might be able to use three bottles small browning if you’re in Jamaica get the Grace Browning , or while you mix you can also see the desired color that you want to have. Also sometime it might look to the naked eye before it goes into the oven lighter but when it comes out of the oven it’s darker.

I honestly I have not used Browning in a long time but it depends on the desired Darkness you need your cake to have but I would start with three bottles and then gradually add a little at a time

@@normacherryyaadqueenallen8974 hi thanks for watching. Because it’s five dozen eggs it’s very hard to take each eye out but they do attach themselves to the tip of the electric mixer and I also add the lime juice . 🥰👍

[@annmariescott54]

You don't have to remove the eye just add lime juice because even when you remove the 👀 still have to add lime juice

[@CJsKitchenJa]

@@annmariescott54 yep

[@nelliefox3550]

[@jamrock97sb]

how did you do all that quantity with only one oven?..

[@CJsKitchenJa]

Hi thanks for watching my video, I just poured into individual baking tins and wait until first batch comes out oven , which is ok this cake mixture doesn’t fall , you get a perfect cake just like the first baked cakes . Just need more time and patience 😇

What do you do to prevent the cake from cracking

[@CJsKitchenJa]

Hi thanks for watching my video . Always put water in a pan at the bottom of the oven, and slow bake prevent cracking if crack pour wine rum immediately when take out oven cake will come back together.

[@CJsKitchenJa]

When the oven is too hot it causes your cake to dry out too fast and that’s what caused it to crack
