Jamaican Black Cake For Sale For Christmas And Thanksgiving

By Catherine Kelly


It really isn't long now until Christmas and you need to decide what food you are going to celebrate with this year. In the UK and across many other countries a liquor cake is popular that is known as black cake. So for something different this year try a hand baked Jamaican black cake for sale locally instead of a store bought one.

There are literally dozens of types of desserts on your supermarket shelves for this time of year. Most will have fruit content. But check just what is in them if you are thinking of trying one. Many won't actually contain any rum. For a real treat forget pre-packed baked goods and choose a fine select Rum cake that is generously filled with fruit and dark liquor.

So let's take a look at the different options you have when you want a Jamaican style dessert for your festive day. Firstly you can choose between a pudding or a cake. Or why not simply have both. A pudding served with rum sauce is the traditional dessert in the United Kingdom for Christmas day. As well as there being liquor in the sauce there will be in the pudding itself. But don't worry about if you can give it to kids or not. Unless you actually pour rum over the top without cooking, the alcohol content will be zero as it will have been cooked.

One thing is for sure at that is you'll be eating a lot of food this festive season. A baked cold dessert and a hot pudding can both feature on the menu. After unwrapping of gifts in the morning, the eating will commence, and things won't quieten down till bed time. After your hot rum dish you will be full and there will still be more food to come in the afternoon.

Then for the afternoon, more food will appear on the table. Cold turkey on bread is a favourite in Britain. There will be all sorts to eat like sausage rolls and pastries and jam tart-lets. In the middle of the table will sit with pride of place the cake. But more often than not it won't even be cut on Christmas day because no one will have room for dessert.

Don't worry though. Your dessert will not go off. In fact it will get richer the longer it is left to mature. This ensures that you won't waste food on the big day. Put into a tin it can last for months and even till next Christmas. All you need is an airtight container and you are all set until you want to eat it.

But really you should pay a little more for your dessert than one from the supermarket shelf. You could try your hand at baking one yourself, or just by one from a bakery, adding he icing at home to ensure that it looks perfect for the day.

Royal icing is the perfect way to decorate your dessert, with a layer of marzipan in the middle. If you aren't any good at making icing, you can by ready to roll. This means that even someone who is no good at baking and is a disaster in the kitchen can still have a great looking Christmas log.
