Welcome everyone to the show.

Today we are making Colombian Torta Negra, a delicious cake.

List the ingredients needed for the cake.

Start by creaming together 150 g of butter and 150 g of brown sugar until combined.

Add in cinnamon, ginger powder, and vanilla extract to the mixture.

Incorporate the eggs one at a time, mixing on medium speed.

Add approximately one tablespoon of caramel color to the mixture.

Mix in the flour gradually, ensuring not to overmix to prevent gluten development.

Prepare the fruits by coating them lightly in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the cake.

Add 70 g each of raisins, walnuts, candied fruit, figs, cherries, and prunes to the batter.

Combine all the ingredients until just mixed, ensuring the fruits are evenly distributed.

Pour the batter into a greased cake pan and smooth the top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 45-55 minutes.

Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack.

Brush the top of the cake with red wine for added flavor.

Store the cake in the refrigerator to enhance the flavors.
