Trinidad Black Cake
This Trinidad black cake is my absolute favorite dessert for the holidays. I would always look forward to this season just to get a piece of this cake. The longer the fruit sits in the alcohol, the better it tastes — and the same goes for the cake! You should plan to make this recipe a few days ahead of serving the tasty treat for good measure. But make sure you have it wrapped properly if you want to leave it sitting for a long time.
