The story of Black Cake<\/em> is moving from book<\/a> to screen with an adaptation from Marissa Jo Cerar and Oprah Winfrey's Harpo Films. The brand-new Hulu show spans decades, continents and generations to unfold the hidden life of Eleanor Bennett. It begins in Jamaica, which is also home to the namesake dessert.<\/p>\r\n

To celebrate show's premiere, we're making Eleanor's black cake recipe!<\/p>\r\n\r\n

What's in black cake?<\/h2>\r\n

This recipe is chock-full of rum-soaked fruit, much like a holiday fruitcake<\/a>. Ideally the fruit is soaked for four months, though in a pinch you can soak the fruit overnight. The cake also has a special addition of blacking, which is caramelized dark brown sugar<\/a>, which comes through in the deep, rich flavor of the cake.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
