Jamaican Christmas Fruit Cake

Jamaican Christmas Fruit Cake

The Jamaican fruit cake, also known as Jamaican black cake, has roots in British Christmas traditions. It evolved in Jamaica with the influence of African and Caribbean culinary elements. The cake typically contains fruits like prunes, raisins, and currants soaked in rum, along with spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. 

The rich and dark color comes from the use of browning, a caramelized sugar sauce. Jamaican fruit cake is often enjoyed during special occasions and celebrations, reflecting the diverse cultural influences in Jamaican cuisine. Most Jamaican families have their own unique recipe which they consider the best. Some persons prefer their cake with a cake-like texture while others prefer a more pudding texture.
