Jamaican Fruit Cake Is Ideal For The Holidays

By Betty Ward


Most people who love spicy foods may like Caribbean dishes that are rich with allspice, ginger, and maybe a hint of sweetness. There are a wide variety of dishes that will appease most palettes. From protein marinated in a blend of island spices to grains and vegetables that can be enjoyed as a side of main dish. However, most people who like this type of cuisine cannot get enough Jamaican fruit cake.

These days, fall and winter meals do not have to be heavy in consistency or loaded with starches that are hard to digest. There are many recipes out there that incorporate plenty of color, flavor, and some are easy on the waistline. Some meals are so nutrition that no one will feel ashamed about having seconds.

For those who are looking to make an impression on dinner guests, sometimes unusual dishes can be quite the conversation starter. However, for those who may not be acquainted with their kitchen, there are many places that will make and deliver these specialties to their home or office. There are many reputable operations that have high ratings online or may be recommended by others.

Most recipes call for a generous amount of dark rum or wine, along with a variety of spices and vanilla flavoring. Molasses gives it its dark color and ginger adds a kick not found in traditional rum cake. Although natives also call this black cake, there are some recipes that replace molasses with brown sugar for a slightly lighter color.

With its combination of dark rum soaked fruits and intense flavor profile that is synonymous with island cuisine, this slightly sweet treat is sure to be a hit with guests. Most versions have an even balance of moist spice cake, fruit, and sometimes walnuts for contrast in taste. Many people who take a single bite are not likely to make this a second hand gift.

There are many sellers who make this treat throughout the year and do no skimp on ingredients. Even better, they can make and ship a cake large enough for small gatherings or office parties. Many merchants also carry condiments, seasoning blends, and other dishes that can be made in any home kitchen. This means no waiting until next vacation to get a taste of the islands.

These can also be good resources for those who want to make the fruit cake and other entrees. Most supermarket chains carry cooking products that may hint at Caribbean flavor but often need enhancements like more pepper or cinnamon. Having access to the real thing is better than having to improvise in the kitchen.

For those who are watching their waistline during the holidays, having a small slice of cake should not hurt. Especially if holiday meals have few carbohydrates and plenty of protein or grains, which can be filling with just one serving. Whatever the method for preventing holiday weight gain, always make room for a little dessert.
