Yes, Trinidadian black cake is my favorite. I was a fruitcake lover before I traveled to Trinidad with my boyfriend to spend Christmas with his family about 19 years ago. I've been making it for us here in the states ever since instead of my grandmother's recipe. There are many good recipes, but it does allow for variations based on personal preference. You can soak the fruit for next year's cake. Do a search for "Naparima Girls" Christmas black cake. It's a famous cookbook that my boyfriend's family gifted me.
