I have been making cake since i was 10 yrs old ,later i was proffessionally train.This is not a good recipe for Jamaican fruit cake.

You're welcome. God bless

@@AngieShares .

I did try it Saturday night and it turned out great! My husband a cake lover loved it.

Thank you

Simple and easy to follow.

Thank you

Recipe

Thank you too

You should use a wooden spoon in a metal bowl. This is my first reply. Thank you.

Also just a suggestion try wiping your eggs before you had it to your butter and sugar

Pip pip

Island cook and bake that way cyaan badda wit real measurements

@@EthersMysticalChildTarot8014 in that case say approximately

@@EthersMysticalChildTarot8014 Lol lol this is so true, we nuh really like fi measure

It worked perfectly for me lol

Just add some more eggs and lay off the wine. Too much wine will ruin the cake. Plus the wine will evaporate in the over

Thank you. Yes, breadcrumbs makes the texture of the cake nice. Yes, I put water in the oven

No i haven't, big up for that . Tell people where, on RU-vid? No sah, I have more haters watching my videos than fans.

@@AngieShares ok sis

@@AngieShares let them hate. Keep doing your thing the sky is the limit.

This look darker than the one u put in the oven

@@AngieShares don't mind them still put your info out

Big up yuself, respect

Thanks

Thanks for watching. The breadcrumbs makes it taste more like pudding than cake

That's how my mom makes it with breadcrumbs. Then my pastry teacher did her cakes the same way.😉

Never heard of bread crumbes either. Had to play back to know if I was hearing right.🙂

You need a wooden spoon.

Youre welcome

Merry Christmas, God bless

LOL, you are correct

Thank you

Thank you. Post them here

Hi Good evening...I tried to get my sugar and butter to be as smooth and runny as yours but I just couldn't...do u add some liquid to your butter and sugar partway through mixing to get it that nice...and if I don't want the pudding cake...if I want mines more on the cake side that when I break it crumbs are falling....what can I change in this recipe to get it like that please? And what is the difference if you don't put in the bread crumbs? Please Let me know...I loved the carmelized pork that you did...delicious...Blessings always.

@@pauletsmith2259 no, I did not add any liquid to the margarine and sugar. I used chiffon margarine, i removed the chiffon from the fridge overnight and the eggs as well. Everything should be at room temperature. If you are using butter, the consistency will not be as runny as mind because I used margarine. However, it doesn't matter if it is runny or not. Make sure to mix the sugar and butter until well combine (well smooth) If you want a cake and not a pudding, do not use breadcrumbs. Use only flour. Use 2 cups all purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking powder. Also, put water into the oven while baking. Put water into a container, place it in the oven , then preheat the oven to 350 degrees F . The water in the oven will keep the cake moist will baking. Also, my coworker, put 2 tbsp. Of strawberry jam in her Christmas cake mixture and I must say, it is nice, she gave me a slice. It's not compulsory but if you want, you can put the jam as well

Thanks a million for the tip...God bless u

And you know say a foolishness I was talking because I used mixed spice which consist of cinnamon powder and nutmeg and other spices. What I should have said, is that I don't use cinnamon and nutmeg individually because I used the mixed spice that already contain them. Stay safe, one love

@@AngieShares No problem.Mi just find yuh .I will subscribe I love,the recipe. I doing it for Christmas.

Just seen your comment. She has done a previous video showing the fruits that she uses and measurements. The video is "How to blend fruits for a Christmas cake". Hope that helps.

The breadcrumbs give the cake a gummy texture, using breadcrumbs is the old fashioned way, people don't really use breadcrumbs nowadays, sometimes I used it, sometimes I don't, it's not necessary. You should try the sorrel fruit cake, the recipe is posted, and I didn't use breadcrumbs

@@AngieShares okay

What size cake did you made?

@@MichelleSmith-nf7tu 4 lbs. and the cake pan size is 9"

yes even in traditional english christmas pudding

Q Ll

Yes, I learnt that at HEART 9yrs ago or excelsior cream creams.

That’s 3/4 lb cake, not a 4lb cake

Season greetings, no, using margarine is a personal choice, you can use butter ; use any butter of your choice

1/2 tsp nutmeg & 1 tsp cinnamon powder

Thanks for your reply. I actually made it but I doubled the ingredients and oh it is so easy , quick and delicious and as you said it taste better as it aged. Thanks again and keep it going. Happy Christmas as we say back a yard.

Thanks, breadcrumbs makes the texture similar to pudding

Thanks for watching, the breadcrumbs can be omitted, you don't have to use it. Do you have jam, e.g. strawberry or guava flavour? If yes, put 2 tablespoons of jam into the cake mixture, it will enhanced the mixture and taste of cake

Thanks a lot.

You can use flour only

The recipe is for a 4lbs cake. You would need to double the amount

1 cup unsalted butter 6 eggs Cream together until light and fluffy, make sure to cream well good to incorporate air. 2. Cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp.baking powder, 1/4 tsp. salt Add your favourite spices, cinnamon, etc, . To the creamed mixture add 1 tsp. Lime juice as well as 1 tsp. lime zest (make sure the white part is removed) Add the soaked fruits, add vanilla flavouring or extract, a tsp. Is good. I normally add a tsp. of strawberry jam (optional) you can melt the jam before adding it . Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Use a spoon to fold in the dry ingredients until well incorporated. Add the food browning, to give the cake a darker shade, do not add too much. If the mixture needs more liquid, add rum or wine. Pour mixture into prepare bake tins or use one tin about 9" (depending on how big you want the cake) put water into a container then place in the oven below the rack with the cake. This will regular the oven temperature. Bake cake in preheated oven at 350F or 177C for an hour or so. The key is to cream the butter and sugar well to incorporate air for light and fluffy cake. Tip: for me personally I use my hand rather than a mixer, I get a better cream. Sometimes I sit and watch TV while creaming the butter and sugar. I hope this helps 🙏

Hi Vystah thank you for taking the time out to redpond to me, but isn't this the recipe you're given me back again in words. I've watched the video but I'm just wanting to know if this way will give me the cake light and fluffy, almost similar to a cup cake, light and fluffy and not thick and dense. I don't want to get it thick like pudding. So what's the difference to do please? Thanks sooo much

@@charmainestewart9857 no breadcrumbs is in the one I written, breadcrumbs will make the cake heavy and you rather a lighter airey cake

@JamaicaVystah thank you so much you're the best I will try that. We love you're cooking

Google Cals fruit wine and you'll see what it looks like. You can use Red Label Wine as well

I won't say, it can't be use but I never used cornmeal, you can try it and see if you like it with the cornmeal

Thank you and Happy Holidays to you as well

You can use crackers instead of the breadcrumbs

Use 2 cups of all purpose flour

Yes and put 1 tbsp. of strawberry jam in it, it helps add moisture to the cake

Wow, 4 lbs. Means the entire cake should weigh 4lbs. That's what I learnt in food and nutrition (cookery class) I didnt use a kitchen scale because I knew that the cake would weigh 4lbs based on past experienced. I will do a video soon explaining

@@AngieShares thank you 😀

I hate 4 pound of everything.I just skip past those videos

Mi fren yuh a guh drunk mi🤣🤣🤣

Cal's fruit wine. The next day or put it to freeze up to a year

@@AngieShares Thank you

Cal's

@@AngieShares thank you for replying

@@EVOLVINGINFINITELY888 You're welcome. Thanks for watching

What I said was not totally accurate; I should have clarified that I used mixed spice, which is a well-blended mixture of cinnamon powder, nutmeg, allspice, and other spices, rather than adding cinnamon powder or nutmeg separately to the Christmas cake. The flavor of mixed spices gives Jamaican baked goods a distinctive flavor and taste

It gives a pudding like texture, if you rather a cake texture, do not use it.

The fruits that she used is explained in a previous video of "How to blend fruits for a Christmas cake".This recipe you will have to follow, pause and make notes.

I am allergic to wooden spoon, it makes my hands itch

@@AngieShares you can try using a silicone spatula or spoon

@@gemmabocus2711 yeah the spatula especially for emptying the mixing bowl o It takes out everything

🤔

one large cake

@@AngieShares 👍

Usually raisins, currants, prunes and glace cherries

Just seen your comment. She has done a previous video called "How to blend fruits for a Christmas cake". She shows the fruits used and the measurements. Hope that helps.

In a reply to another comment she said she is allergic to them, they make her hands itch

🤣

Yes, a lot of people still use it

The purpose of it is to cut out the rawness of the egg.

How long can I store my cake? On the counter or in the fridge?

On the counter for the first 2 days. In the fridge for a week. In the freezer up to a year

@@AngieShares i thought once the alcohol is in there you don't have to put ot in the fridge.

Hi, What flavor fruit wine are you using and where do you order it from?

@@kimoni6 the texture will change after a week or so, it must be refrigerated to preserved

Google how to make Jamaican fruits cake

You will need to go the beginning of the channel to see her face
