Secrets from Ms. Merl Kitchen
This is baking season. The best season in my book! I just love trying new recipes and tweaking old ones. With so many options, one may be caught in a dilema as to which dessert will make the perfect one for your holiday gathering.
How to choose what to bake is simple. First, don't over think it. Something to look at in choosing the best cake to bake is the type of food you are serving. Food this season is hearty, warm and comforting, so baking should follow suit. In my family, our holiday meals are pure comfort Caribbean foods like Ox Tale, Curry Goat/Chicken, Stewed Chicken, Ackee and Salt Fish to name a few. I can never go wrong with my Jamaican Black Cake. One slice of this cake always goes along way and great for the ending of any holiday meal! Choose a dessert that goes a long way, lessens your cost on desserts. Jamaican Black Cake is all that! If you are hosting dinner party this season, I am sure hearty foods will be served. Rum cake is becoming very popular around the baking forums. Its sophisticated and fun, so you simply cannot go wrong! My rum cup cakes are also great treats, one serves two! A rum cake is not as heavy as you would think. This makes it the best choice for autumn and winter holidays. This time of year everyone tends to go overboard with eating sweets. All you need is a sliver of this rum cake to be more than satisfied, which will cut back on the calories your guest will have. Having one slice of Jamaican Black Cake and a few cookies as opposed to 3 slices of pie, cookies and piece of chocolate cake, which tends to be the norm at holiday gatherings. Making this the best dessert choice! Jamaican Black Cake is traditional a christmas cake in the West Indies, however I make it all year round. Rum cake is a beautiful center piece, cuts back on costs for several desserts, lessens sweet/sugar calories consumed by your guests and your dinner party is a sure hit! Enjoy!
