Hi...may I ask what size tin you have I only have a 9 " pan, will.that be too much batter do you think?

[@lovelymommytv5567]

A 9” could work depending on how deep it is. Use what you have and adjust the baking time. Enjoy!

[@noelladias785]

I baked this and its absolutely delicious. If you keep soaking it, it gets so rich and moist! Thank you so much for sharing! 💜💜

[@noelladias785]

Could I use only rum in place of wine here with equal amount?

[@lovelymommytv5567]

The fruit wine really adds a nice sweetness. Grab any fruit wine that you can find or Brandy!

[@noelladias785]

@@lovelymommytv5567 yeah! I feel like brandy will make it bitter. I tried the first time with port wine + dark rum and I think the wine made it quite 🔥. And so I'm thinking only dark rum. But yes, will also try fruit wine, never tried that😬🙌

[@Lipsticker54321]

This cake turned out delicious. I also added some ground ginger & almond and butter extract to my cake for extra flavor. I had to adjust my baking time though, at 1.6 hours the outside of my cake was firm but inside was very wet so I lowered the oven temperature an put it back in there for another 35 mins or so.I’ll try cooking it on 325 next time to see if I prefer the difference. Overall really good recipe, & great flavor. My Jamaican Hubby approved, he said he could really taste the wine & rum. Respect. Thanks & keep up the recipes !

[@lovelymommytv5567]

Thank you! Glad you two enjoyed it! ❤️

[@robin4u2nv]

Guys, do this recipe, it's so amazing, fluffy, moist. I already had the fruit soaked in whisky, rum and black beer. I altered to 1,5 cup of sugar, I've used 1 tbsp of mixed spice, instead of browning, I've used 2 tbsp of cocoa. It took me 3 hours in the oven, but it was worth the wait ❤ Def it's going to my recipe book 👏🏾
