Rum Cakes
One of my favourite cakes is a (my) traditional Jamaican Rum Cake. A smooth, delicate sponge, a touch of
pudding, baked
then soaked and glazed with a modestly sweetened rum sauce. Yummy and yes, leaves you feeling a little
bit RUMbunctious!
Eatser Bun
Easter Bun .....and cheese! Wow, who doesn't love that taste of sweet fruit with warm spices like
vanilla, cinnamon and
nutmeg? The best Easter bun, very different from everyday street corner yeast bun is my moist, well
spiced and soft
Stout bun.
Fruit Cakes
Traditional Jamaican Christmas Fruitcake or Christmas Pudding, as it's often called, is believed to have
been brought to
the caribbean by the British from as early as the 18th century. Adapted to the pockets and palate of the
Jamaican
people, ours is a batter loaded with dried fruit, soaked in wine and white rum and then baked or
steamed. This dense,
luscious cake brings a close-your-eyes, deep-breath from a taste of this heart-warming sensation.
