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.

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.

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.
