How to make the BEST BLACK CAKE | CARIBBEAN BLACK CAKE | Jehan Can Cook

[@kelseythompson2589]

I grew up in North Dakota and married a man from Guyana. I made your black cake this year. He says it's just like his mom used to make! Thanks!

[@randyc7351]

My wife is Guyanese and I always liked this cake. So I am making it for everyone this year. Including my father in law. Wish me luck lol

[@jehanpowell]

Good luck, I hope it turns out well!

One thing I love about your channel is that you represent the entire Caribbean with your recipes. You never make it seem like your food is exclusive to Guyana...like some bloggers/youtubers make it seem like their food is exclusive to 🇯🇲 or 🇹🇹. We all eat the same delicious food. I'm definitely subscribing.

[@jehanpowell]

Aww thanks!

[@hilaryjonesred]

Another wonderful video. Such clear and concise instructions. I've found all my favourite Guyanese recipes here. Thank you so much.

[@sparklefacepb]

I used your recipe to make my cake and everyone loved it. I ended up making 25 for Christmas 2019 and gave them away as gifts. Thank you so much!

[@rthomas3316]

This is the most Beautiful cake. Packed with flavor. It's moist yet dense. Serve small slices .It truly sings holiday...but delicious for any occasion. 😋😋👍👍👍

[@madorisolomon6440]

I made this today and it turned out just how my grandma used to make! I did have to make a few changes though because I couldn't get some of the ingredients. Instead of currants I used dried apricots and instead of candied cherries I used marichino Cherries. I also used blackberry wine instead of rum. It turned out delicious. Also I split the batter between 3 9 inch pans that were about an inch and a half thick. They took about an hour and 45 minutes to cook.

[@randyc7351]

Oh good idea with splitting the batter

[@destinybaveghems2267]

yessss a Guyanese youtuber, thank you for this tutorial

[@cynthiamorrison9984]

Thank you so much for your clear and detailed instructions. I always wanted to make this cake, now I think I can.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

Love the normal rich Christmas cake we make/get in the UK. But will definitely make this black cake for this Christmas as it looks stunning

[@mjchiwara]

No where near the same. Our British cake has fruit bits not blended. O look forward to trying this since I loathe fruit bits.

[@LockStoppageSandwich]

[@geoffpoole483]

I came to your channel after hearing David Lammy MP being interviewed on Test Match Special today. He'd brought in a black cake as a gift. Growing up I thought of the West Indies as a single place but as I got older I learned more about the Caribbean and realised that the islands as well as Guyana have some similarities but many differences too.

[@scallywagsmith127]

Very delicious cake. Thank you for sharing. I used the Bacardi Black Rum and it was awesome😊💕

[@matthewdsilva84]

I make more of a lighter fruitcake, and always wondered how to get that dark rich colour and flavours. I never thought of blending the fruit, it makes total sense. Thanks for sharing, I will be trying this.

Is pulsing the fruit at the beginning a necessary step? Or could you leave them whole? Or is the pulsing what makes this a black cake vs. a "fruit" cake?

everyone bakes differently ok I grew up making black cake without even a mixer man my arms hurt back in those days so stop with all the negative comments she was at least giving u all and idea of what black cake looks like and how its prepare it so it's up to u to make the recipe your own some people even like to add nuts to it some people like there cake with a variety of different drums I even bake my cake with both rum and guiness it's just the way I was taught to make it in Guyana every carribean doesnt make black cake the same we are all connected by culture but we all have have our own identities and so what if she made a mistake with the measurements if u know there was an error make correct it in your own receipe

Love your recipe, but the ingredients you provided makes three 9” pans instead of 2. Not complaining though, more cake for us

yup! I just made some last night and it went over the sides of both pans I had. Luckily, I put a tray on the rack below and made some free samples for the family to try out while the rest of it baked longer. hahaha
