Steps:
- Wash and dry all fruits. Mix together in a large bowl. Place fruits a little at a time in a food processor, food mill, or ninja blender. Add enough wine to grind fruits to a paste. Repeat process until fruits have been macerated. Fruit mixture should not be too watery. Add 3-4 cups dark rum. Stir and let mixture soak at minimum one week or even one year+. Adding more wine or rum periodically.
- If using store-bought burnt sugar, skip this step. Place sugar in a small saucepan. On low heat turn sugar with a spoon until it begins to caramelize. Once dark brown, add wine and remove from heat. Let cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 275 or 300 degrees F.
- Line 3-8in or 2-9in baking pans with parchment paper. Trim paper and set aside.
- Bring eggs and butter to room temperature.
- Crack eggs into a separate bowl one at a time, Remove little white membrane from each egg (optional). Beat in zests, vanilla, almond, and mixed essence. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, mix all dry ingredients. Set aside.
- In deep mixing bowl or stand mixer, cream butter and sugar until pale. Add eggs a little at a time. Blend well.
- Of the macerated fruit mixture, add 1 1/2 lbs (3 heaping cups) a little at a time, continue blending.
- Add flour mixture a little at a time- fold in with a spatula. Add 1 tbsp burnt sugar at a time until desired color is achieved. If using store bought burnt sugar, 4 tbsp should suffice for a very dark cake. Mix well.
- Pour batter into lined cake pans.
- Bake anywhere from 275-300 degrees F for 80-90 minutes. When cake come out of oven, pour alcohol mixture on top. When cool, cover cake with plastic wrap. Flavor is best after a few days.

Steps:
- To macerate the fruit: Mince all of the fruit in a food processor, 2 cups at a time. The fruit will become sticky and ball up around the blade, but just use a wet spatula to release it. Transfer to a 6-quart glass bowl or crock. When all of the fruit is finely minced and in the bowl, add the wine and rum to the bowl. Stir well to distribute. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place in a dark place in a pantry or corner of the kitchen and let macerate for 14 days. Stir every three or four days. The fruit will absorb all the alcohol. To make the cake: Preheat oven to 350° and assemble all of the ingredients. Prepare two 9 x 2-inch and one 10 x 2-inch cake pans by misting with Baker's Spray and lining each with a round of parchment paper. Spray parchment with Baker's Spray. In a large mixer, beat the butter and slowly add the dark brown sugar. Add the vanilla and eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Stop from time to time to scrape down the sides of the bowl with a spatula. Beat in the liquid caramelized sugar. Place the above mixture in an 8-quart bowl to which you add the macerated fruit (if you do not have such a large bowl, you can divide mixture between two smaller bowls). Now begin adding the flour, the baking powder, salt and cinnamon. Use a large whisk to blend. Spoon the batter into the three prepared pans. Place in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 75 to 80 minutes. When a cake tester comes out moist but clean, the cakes are ready. Remove the pans from the oven and let cool for 20 minutes. Unmold the cakes onto racks to cool further. When the cakes are completely cool, wrap them in foil and store in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks before icing. Slices of black cake are great on gift plates alongside holiday cookies. Yields 3 cakes; 9-inch cake serves 12, 10-inch cake serves 14
