Jamaican Christmas Cake (Fruit Cake)

A Festive Tradition in Every Slice

Jamaican Christmas cake, also known as black cake, is a rich, moist, and aromatic dessert that’s synonymous with holiday celebrations on the island. Made with a blend of dried fruits, spices, and a generous amount of red label wine/ fruit wine, this cake is full of complex flavours that deepen over time, making it a favourite for Christmas and other special occasions. The dark colour comes from the browning that is used to give it a distinct, rich hue, and it’s often enjoyed in small, decadent slices. Whether you're celebrating the season or just craving a piece of traditional Jamaican culture, this cake is sure to bring joy to your table.
