HOW I MAKE JAMAICAN RUM CAKE : CHRISTMAS CAKE : BLACK CAKE

Preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, cream the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Stir in the dark rum, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

Fold in the chopped nuts and dried fruits if using.

Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
