This is hands down the best fruit I have ever had. This cake is traditionally done during the Christmas season in Jamaica and also at weddings as well. I'd have this one all year round.

Ingredients 👩🏼‍🍳

Red Label Wine
White Rum
Cherry Brandy
Fruits soaked in white rum and Red Label Wine (Dried raisins, currants, mixed peel)
1/4 cup water
2 tbsp mixed spice for baking 
OR
1 tbsp each of nutmeg and cinnamon
1lb butter
1lb sugar
10 whole eggs+ 2 egg yolks
1lb flour
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup browning or Burnt Sugar coloring


METHOD 
Blend fruits until you have 5-6 cups of pureed fruits. 

Place in a pot with 1/4 cup of water, spices, vanilla and cook on high until mixture bubbles. Turn down on low for 15 mins and stir occasionally. Allow to cool completely preferably overnight. 

Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy.

Add 1/2 eggs and beat at low speed until yolks disappear then add the other 1/2. Remove from mixer once all egg yolks have been incorporated (mixture may curdle)

In a separate bowl sift flour, baking powder and salt together then put in 3 even parts. Split fruit mixture into 2. 

Alternatively add flour and fruits beginning with flour. After the first fruit addition, add burnt sugar or desired browning.( You should be adding flour, fruits, flour, fruits, flour)

Pour into pans prepared with parchment paper. This will make two or three 8 inch cakes depending on depth of pan.Bake at 275 degrees for about 2 1/2 -3 hours.

When cakes are finished, remove from oven. Mix 1/4 cup rum and 1/4 cup cherry brandy or more rum if desired. Pour over cakes to ensure complete coverage. Cover cakes with foil and allow to cool.
