I spent a bit of time today catching up on cake recipes from the Festive Season for Belize Wild Recipes. I simply had to write about them because this year, for the first time ever, they actually worked out.  This is a typical baking disaster…this one was Christmas Spice Cake:

This year, we were made “Apple” Pie from jujube (Chinese wild plum):

The  wild chinese plum  has a very tart flavour similar to crab apples.  These plums are about 1inch (2.5cm) in size.

I have also posted up a “Black Cake” recipe which was very kindly given to me by Barbara Nightingale.  I haven’t tried the recipe yet…it will have to wait until next Christmas!!  And sorry no picture because we polished it all off before we could get a photo!
