DIRECTIONS: -Add fruits, malt and grape juice to a pot. Simmer on low heat for 1 hour. Then set aside to cool. -Pulse or blend fruits to desired consistency or keep them as they are (if you like big chunks of fruit in your cake). -Cream room-temperature butter and sugar until lightly and fluffy. Add applesauce, mixed essence, Angostura bitters, orange zest, lime zest. -Mix dry ingredients in a separate bowl. -Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients half at a time and ensure that everything is mixed properly. -Add in simmered fruit mixture and mix into batter. -Add browning until desired colour is reached. -Pour batter in floured/oiled/wax paper-lined cake pans. -Depending on size of pan, bake at 120 C/250 F for 2 hours or more. -Insert toothpick in centre to test for doneness (toothpick should come out clean). -Let cake cool and then POUR malt and grape juice while still in pan. If you REMOVE the cake from the pan, BRUSH the malt and grape juice on. -Remember to store in fridge since there is no alcohol to preserve it.
For years i have been making non alcoholic fruitcake using Malta with my own twist, and everybody loves it,.Your recipe is a good one. I never use grape juice as sometimes it could make the cake taste tart/sour, and as I use less sugar in my cake, just about 1 cup brown sugar, I avoid grape juice .
I just baked this cake. It looks perfect so far! It's still soaking in Malta! Thank you for the recipe ❤😊 I doubled the recipe and made 2 x 8 inch cakes. Took exactly 3 hrs to bake @140°C (because that's the lowest on my oven, not 120). I find it shrunk a bit after pouring the malta on.
What a great idea! The cake looks perfect, a testament to the love and care you put into it. Merry Christmas and big love to you and all the Taste of Trini family and friends 🎄👍🌟
Thanks for sharing this recipe with us.....did the non-alcoholic cake but never use applesauce but i think i will try it Resh.....boss of recipe. THANK U😋😋
Okay. Back to this recipe. If I'd like to make this eggless, but alcoholic, do I replace the malt and grape juice with wine when making the fruit base? Eg. Add 4 cups of wine to the fruit base instead of 2 cups malt and 2 cups grape juice? Thank you Reshmi.
Hi Reshmi I make black cake eggless and al alcohol free i don’t put bitters because it have a percentage of alcohol ii would like to wish you and your family a happy Diwali and stay safe bye.
Hi yall. Keep in mind you can still try the traditional black cake recipe. The alcohol in soaked fruits is cooked out during baking process. When you are finished baking you can then soak it with the malta. Just another option to prevent you from soaking a different batch of fruits. Great recipe Reshmi.
Thank you! Great suggestion! Some people don't associate with alcohol due to religious reasons so they still may not want to do that. Have a great holiday season!
Thank you soooooo much for this!! I have been looking for this all season and was unable to find it already made in stores. Well done!!! Would certainly try👍👍👍👍
Wow. Thanks. I'll send my father this link. Do you have any recommendation for applesauce? And I'm guessing about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of oil to replace the butter.
The cake looks great. And I guess if someone wants this eggless but with alcohol, they just replace the amount of malt and grape juice with the alcohol, right? That camera, though. That camera! #feelsLikeImInTheKitchen
@@TasteofTrini I'll give it a go next week and report back. I'm going to use Rice flour, Sorghum and buckwheat. Sounds crazy but they are all gluten free and I had it in a cake recently and it was very good.
Girl I do not know what went wrong. I followed everything to proportion but the cake will not get dry after 12 hrs still wet, I then increased the heat to 300 degrees then it got hard like rock. Soo disappointed
Oh no, sorry to hear this! I wish I saw all the steps to be able to figure out where it went wrong 😢 I just used this same recipe last week and the texture was good. I think it needed to bake a slightly longer at 250F. Did you do the toothpick test?

Thanks for this. My cake came out so well following this advice
This is a great recipe as I am vegetarian also and definitely allergic to eggs. What are the measurements for the flour and fruits?
@@sharonbailey1826 What is the measurement for the cake Thank you for sharing your recipe have a blessed and a healthy holiday.
Looks so delicious...definitely will try
Looks good
I’m vegetarian so I’m very grateful for this recipe. It looks just like my mom’s

The cake wasn't tart at all. It tasted great! I only used 1/2 cup of sugar in this recipe 🙂
@@TasteofTrini I use 1 cup or less of sugar to a receipt that calls for 1 lb of each dried fruit etc,
@@SiriusStarGazer Oh wow, that would be great for those cutting back on the sugar.
Hello can you share your non alcoholic recipe with us ... thank you
@@wendyramkissoon2017 Hello I will as soon as i get a bit of time to over all the ingredients

What can be used instead of sugar.
@@HaerinKang-c5x you can use dates blended with the fruit mixture
Thanks for d recipe
Yes that's how I like my fruit cake very rich tanks reshmi
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Hi can I use oil instead of butter for this recipe
Hi, yes you can but don't use a 1:1 ratio. You have to use a little less oil
What can I use in place of the malta?
Love the new recipe 👌
Glad to hear that! Happy holidays!
Yummy. Thanks for the vegan option 😍😚☺🤤🎂
No problem! Enjoy!
Yummo! I love black cake.🎉🎉🌲👍Happy Holidays my love😘!
Me too! Happy holidays aunty!
Going to try out your turkey recipe
Nice! Enjoy!
Hi if i wanted to add eggs how many eggs would I use?
How would you make this with the sorrel?
Can I use Champdor in place of the Malta ...Reshmi?
Hi, of course!
Thanks for the recipe. Holy Holliday's to you an family.
Great recipe Dear👍👍👍..just wanted to point out that bitters has alcohol.
Thank you! Yes I mentioned it in the video. I know some people still use it although it has alcohol but it's just a small amount for flavour.
Nice thank you 💯😍😍
You're welcome!
Yummmmmy
🎄🙂🙏🏽 Thank you, it was!
So if you have no problem with alcohol you can just only omit the egg and use the rum soaked fruits as usual?
Hi, do I have to use the Malta or I can just use grape juice?
Hi, you can use grape juice alone
Thanks for the quick response
Do I need d browning?
Yummmmmm
Looks delicious.
🙂🙂
Have a merry christmas Reshmi youre the best...
Same to you and your family!
Love the hair
Thank you for being so kind 💜 Happy holidays!
Yum 😋
Also can i use the apple sauce in a sponge cake
Yes of course.
Wow. Thanks. I'll send my father this link. Do you have any recommendation for applesauce? And I'm guessing about 1/4 to 1/3 cup of oil to replace the butter.
I use organic 100% applesauce. I never tried it with the oil
I meant *substitute for applesauce. My bad
Was thinking maybe seamoss gel should do
The cake looks great. And I guess if someone wants this eggless but with alcohol, they just replace the amount of malt and grape juice with the alcohol, right? That camera, though. That camera! #feelsLikeImInTheKitchen
Do you always have to simmer the fruits or can you soak it and then use them
For non-alcoholic cakes it's better if you do everything the same day. You can soak it in the fridge though, it can spoil if left outside.
Wow that looks awesome! I wonder how this would come out with a gluten free flour?
Thank you! I haven't tried it with gluten-free flour.
@@TasteofTrini I'll give it a go next week and report back. I'm going to use Rice flour, Sorghum and buckwheat. Sounds crazy but they are all gluten free and I had it in a cake recently and it was very good.

goodness gracious this deserves a nobel prize!😍
It doesn't look pretty but it taste good
Bitters have alcohol in it
The dannys was bad
