Grandma Irma’s Guyanese Black Cake Recipe – Foodie Not a Chef | Afrocaribbean Food Blog

If you’re Guyanese you know that there is no Christmas without black cake. Black Cake is also referred to as Fruit Cake or Christmas cake in some parts of the Caribbean, but in Guyana, the two are not the same as they do differ in terms of texture and composition. It’s a rich and moist cake that consists of any fruit combination of your choices such as raisins, prunes, cherries, and mixed peel. #blackcakerecipe
