The best fruit cake I grew up with is called "Black Cake," and is made from wine-soaked dark fruits. My mother is Trinidadian, and she bakes it for all celebrations, especially Christmas. It is a very wet cake--almost a pudding--and so rich that it's best enjoyed in slivers and nibbles with a cup of tea.
