A History of the Jamaican Rum Cake

The Jamaican rum cake, also known as Jamaican black cake, is related to rum cakes popular across the Caribbean region. Thought to have originated with British colonists who brought recipes for steamed fruit puddings with them as they began settling in the islands in the 18th century, Caribbean rum cakes incorporated local produce and liquors, evolving into a unique confection. Culturally, the gift of a Jamaican rum cake implies a deep friendship with the recipient. The ingredients can be costly and the preparation is an intense labor of love, making it a truly valued token of esteem.

Chefs hundreds of years ago had to contend with warm Caribbean temperatures when storing food. Sugar played an integral role in preserving fruits and cakes, as did the addition of alcohol. Traditional English figgy puddings served during the Christmas season are thought to be ancestor of the rum cake. The extensive sugar plantations scattered across the Caribbean made this delectable dessert affordable, as the availability of sugar caused the price to drop. The inclusion of ingredients like rum, sugar and molasses make this cake a historic, edible relic of the sugar trade and hundreds of years of Caribbean history.
