I thank you and commend you for making this video with clear and concise measurements. I have begged the best of bakers for years to share their recipe for this great cake and no one ever would. I figured it's bc most just go off taste and knowledge so they don't necessarily measure everything idk but I think to carry on our great traditions with the younger generations,we have to teach and share openly. Can't wait to try this.
Many ppl especially us Caribbean folks don't bother with measuring 😄 I try to keep measurements so that my kids will have something to keep the traditions alive if I'm not around. Measurements also ensure consistency 💙
It’s me again 2 years later 🤣🤣 I made this last year and this year with the exact ingredients this time around and babbyyyyyy! Everyone loves it! I almost have no cake for myself ❤❤❤ thanks for sharing
Girl I just made mine, I just grate the rind of a lime, that always take away the egg scent or taste,,but can I tell you the consistency is the bomb! I’m soaking up all the rum and wine, updated after I cut,, Thanks a million, you rock
Thank you for being clear and even showing how you cut the parchment paper. And tapping the pan to level it! I was never shown that technique and always wondered how to get it smooth on top. Great tips!
Thank you so much! My boss gave me a slice of this one year. He brought it to the office. It was the fruitiest most delicious cake I had ever tasted. Also, I couldn’t drive afterwards. LOL
OMG! Jerene girl you did it again 🤗! This cake recipe and instructions were clear, easy to follow and my cake came out ‘Absolutely Perfect’. The almond essence and lemon zest/juice really made a difference. I absolutely love this cake recipe. Keep doing what you do, I greatly appreciate this and many of your other recipes I have tried.👍👍👍
Bwoy Jerene. This is my second attempt at using your recipe to make my Christmas cake and my hubby giving me nuff props. I’m sooooo happy that I came across your recipe as I’ve always wanted to learn how to make Christmas cake. Your instructions are very easy to follow and the cake came out great. Keep doing your thing.

Hi there! Happy holidays! When I say you just blessed my entire year! You have no idea . Thank you ever so much!!! This recipe along with your sorrel made me feel so much at home. Thank you.
This is exactly what I was looking for...a cakey end result YAY!. Thank you for the detailed instructions and I will definitely use this recipe. Merry Christmas to you and yours and all the best for the new year...bless!
@@JerenesEats Well, surprisingly enough, I am a non-Jamaican, but I was very much immersed in the culture. Nevertheless, I know what you mean about them not knowing. It was just amusing hearing you tiptoe around saying it...🤣🤣🤣
The last time i visited the UK i saw shells selling for cake tins various sizes. It sits in the cake tin just pour the cake mixture in and bake easy peasy
Girrrrrrrrl. I just tried this recipe and it’s the best damn Christmas cake I ever had. I used different proportions for the granulated sugar and brown sugar because I ran out of granulated but girrrrlllll this turned out so good. I left out some spices like the almond essence, molasses, cloves and coriander. I also used tangerine juice and rind because I had no lemon 🙃🙃 but either way this is a sound recipe.
I JUS save dis recipe...gon learn to make my OWN rum cake...I see deh prices people charge for this cake n maaan...lemme learn to make it...I have a cabinet full of all kinda rums...I learn to make everyting else might as well dis too...tanx for deh recipe...happy holidays!
I find Red Label wine to be unnecessarily expensive, so I do instead use a port wine such as Mogen David or Manischewitz. I also add breadcrumbs, to make lighter. I no longer like the heavy, pudding-like consistency. I have my fruits soaking and all the ingredients waiting for me to start my baking, maybe this weekend. I LOOOOOVE our Christmas cakes, including eating the leftover mixture from the containers after the cakes have been put to bake...😋😋😋
For all videos on RUclips, there is a description box that has helpful details like the list. To open the description box, tap the word "more" which is located below the video title
Instead of parchment paper, you can buy the product called "cake release," is available at the stores. Also, you can use lime as well, definitely do not need the breadcrumbs. Very nice video 👍
Awwww sis this was absolutely divine , never heard about adding the coriander at all ... I’m that one person that don’t like a black/ dark brown cake at all ; I know it is gona seem So weird to others but all of us are different 😊lol & that’s fine. Not until afta mi done mi memeba seh mi neva add mi lemon zest. GREAT JOB SIS 👏🏽
Mixed Spice is usually added to Fruit/Christmas cake. I have no mixed spice at home so the spices I've used in this cake are those usually found in mixed spice. Coriander is one of those spices.
For details on what I did, please tap the word "more" located below the video title. When you tap it, it will open the description box with helpful info.
Thanks for the clarification re rose water and almond essence. I put both in my cake (2 10" pan size) last year 1 tsp and 2 tsp respectively and it left an aftertaste so this year I left out both. Perhaps it was the almond essence at 2 tsps.. too much.
🚨🚨 For ingredients and other details, please click the word "more" which is located below the video title to open up the description box. 🚨🚨
To get the cake to cake rather than the pudding texture how the mixing texture must stay thick are not too thick and not too running
@@aliciapanton6992 tell me please to get it cakey shud it be runny or thickened 🤔🤔🤔
@@paulostyles9484 if you follow the recipe is as is you really shouldnt have any problems.

Yes for this recipe. However, here is my eggless cake ⬇️ ruclips.net/video/1wmJdKrtoFw/видео.html
Beautiful !!
This was great👍👍
Awesome Yummy.....
Very nice. Very important, mi like how u hands and finger nails clean.
What is the ideal way to make it this way light n cakey pls?
Jerene, come on and pour some more of the rum & wine mixture on the cake...😋😋😋
I prefer to do it daily than douse it all at once
@@JerenesEats Maybe I'm just a drunk...🤣🤣🤣

Thanks much!

YESSSSSSS SIS YUMMY IN MY TUMMY 💞💞💓💓💗💗❤❤❤💯💯💯
Do you think I can substitute the browning for molasses or burnt sugar ?
If you do, just be aware that the taste may be a bit different 😁
Where can I find the full receipe with the correct measurements to use? Would love to try to make
Always click on the down arrow beside the video title to see details in the description box 💜💜
@@JerenesEats Thank you very much 👍
For this cake did you only use all purpose flour or did you use breadcrumbs as well? I see the breadcrumbs in the recipe as well
In the list of ingredients(description box) I mentioned that sometimes I use breadcrumbs. In the video there were no breadcrumbs added
Instead of parchment paper, you can buy the product called "cake release," is available at the stores. Also, you can use lime as well, definitely do not need the breadcrumbs. Very nice video 👍
See even mooorrrrrre options. Options for everyone. Use what you have at home and if you can afford other options you can go shopping 😁
people cloves is just another kind of spice it is an ingredient in the bottled mixed spice.
no one cap fits all.variety is the spice of life.
😁
You never say a better thing.
👍🏾👍🏾... or Brandy. 😉
Also, can soak the fruits and/ currants with some Pimenta/Allspice and Ginger.
Weh di Sorrel drink deh?!
All dat too...soooo many variations
Brandy really is amazing in desserts...in anything 😋😋
Thank you Jerene❤❤
🤤 YUMMMMMM 🍰
Awwww sis this was absolutely divine , never heard about adding the coriander at all ... I’m that one person that don’t like a black/ dark brown cake at all ; I know it is gona seem So weird to others but all of us are different 😊lol & that’s fine.

Mixed Spice is usually added to Fruit/Christmas cake. I have no mixed spice at home so the spices I've used in this cake are those usually found in mixed spice. Coriander is one of those spices.
@@JerenesEats oh ok cool , I have that& completely forgot that I saw that on the back . Never put 2 & 2 togther at all .
If I add all the egg at once by accident will I have to start over?
😄 Definitely not Charika. It's best to add eggs one at a time for the best batter but no, you don't have to
Omg this look delicious
Thank you
Thanks so much
Most welcome
What if you want it to be more like pudding?
I used the whole bottle of rum and wine in the soakes fruit is that bad. Also should I blend them with all the wine?
Also did you puree it with the wine or without
For details on what I did, please tap the word "more" located below the video title. When you tap it, it will open the description box with helpful info.
Hi, why did you use breadcrumbs? What does it do to the cake?....I'm going to make my own cake flour.
I ve just seen it , one year fruits soaking?? How can I achieve it now?
You can still start now 😁 It'll be ok. I've started late before and the cake still turned out great. The fruits just won't be as soft and saturated
Thanks for the clarification re rose water and almond essence. I put both in my cake (2 10" pan size) last year 1 tsp and 2 tsp respectively and it left an aftertaste so this year I left out both. Perhaps it was the almond essence at 2 tsps.. too much.
Yeah those are such strong ingredients. A little Almond essence goes a long way for me 😁
Which one would you say is better cake flour or all purpose flour?
??
Either works fine, but cake flour gives a lighter texture which isn't necessarily needed for this kind of cake. I mostly use all purpose
