BLACK CAKE
Although black cake is descended from the British plum pudding, for Caribbean-born New Yorkers and their children, who number more than half a million, it evokes nostalgia for the islands, where the baking was a solemnly observed annual ritual. The cake is baked just before Christmas and eaten at Christmas dinner and afterward, in thin slices, for as long as it lasts. Because of the soaking of the fruit and the use of brown sugar and a bittersweet caramel called browning, black cake is to American fruitcake as dark chocolate is to milk chocolate: darker, deeper and altogether more absorbing.

Steps:
- At least 2 days before baking, combine prunes, raisins, currants, cherries, candied peel, rum and brandy in a glass jar or sturdy plastic container. Cover tightly; shake or stir occasionally.
- When ready to bake, put soaked fruit and almonds in a blender or food processor; work in batches that the machine can handle. Grind to a rough paste, leaving some chunks of fruit intact. Add a little brandy or wine if needed to loosen mixture in the machine.
- If burning sugar, place a deep, heavy-bottomed pot over high heat. Add 1 cup white or light brown sugar, and melt, stirring with a wooden spoon. Stir, letting sugar darken. (It will smoke.) When sugar is almost black, stir in 1/4 cup boiling water. (It will splatter.) Turn off heat.
- Heat oven to 250 degrees. Butter three 9-inch or four 8-inch cake pans; line bottoms with a double layer of parchment or wax paper.
- In a mixer, cream butter and 1 pound light or dark brown sugar until smooth and fluffy. Mix in eggs one at a time, then lime zest, vanilla and bitters. Transfer mixture to a very large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and cinnamon. Fold dry ingredients into butter mixture. Stir in fruit paste and 1/4 cup burnt sugar or molasses. Batter should be a medium-dark brown; if too light, add a tablespoon or two of burnt sugar or molasses.
- Divide among prepared pans; cakes will not rise much, so fill pans almost to top. Bake 1 hour, and reduce heat to 225 degrees; bake 2 to 3 hours longer, until a tester inserted in center comes out clean. Remove to a rack.
- While cakes are hot, brush tops with rum and let soak in. Repeat while cakes cool; they will absorb about 4 tablespoons total. When cakes are completely cool, they can be turned out and served. To keep longer, wrap cakes tightly in wax or parchment paper, then in foil. Store in a cool, dry place for up to 1 month.

BLACK AND TANS
The original Black & Tan is a layered drink of pale ale and dark beer served in British pubs. My Black & Tan looks like the drink but veers off in a sweet direction, alternating chunks of chocolate cake and scoops of ice cream in a Pilsner glass and topping it with whipped cream, to resemble beer foam. If you don't have time to start from scratch, you can use store-bought chocolate cake and ice cream, and your guests will still sit up and take notice when they see this dessert coming to the table.

Steps:
- For the cake: Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and position a rack in the middle. Butter an 8-inch square baking pan.
- Pour the batter into the baking pan and smooth the top. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely on a rack.
- To assemble the black & tans: Invert the cooled cake onto a work surface and cut it into 6 equal rectangles. Cut each rectangle into squares about the size of ice cubes. Set out six Pilsner or similar glasses. Put 2 rounded scoops of ice cream into each glass. Divide the cake cubes evenly among the glasses, then add 1/2 scoop of ice cream to each glass, mounding it slightly in the center. Top with softly whipped cream to look like the frothy head on a pint of stout, allowing a drip to edge over the side. Serve immediately.
- Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt onto a piece of waxed paper or into a medium bowl.
- With an electric mixer on medium speed, beat the butter and the sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the oil, beating well. Beat in the egg, then the vanilla. On low speed, add the dry ingredients in 3 batches, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients, scraping down the sides of the bowl and mixing just until the batter is smooth.
BLACK AND TAN CAKE
This is a deep dark chocolate cake. The frosting is a peanut butter frosting that goes really well with the cake. Any type of frosting goes good on this cake. We like the peanut butter frosting. I make this in my jellyroll pan but, you can use a 9 X 13 inch cake pan.

BLACK AND TANS
We are happy to announce that Jeanne Brophy has won our December 2005 "Cook the Cover" contest with her delicious variation on our [Mini Black-and-White Cookies](/recipes/food/views/233293) . Jeanne Brophy explains her variation: My variation is in the frosting. I'm not super crazy about the traditional approach. So thinking that this cookie is really a petite cake in disguise I developed a chocolate (Black) and peanut butter (Tan) buttercream frosting. Dee-licious!
Yield Makes about 5 dozen cookies

Steps:
- Put oven racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat oven to 350°F. Butter 2 large baking sheets.
- Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in a bowl. Stir together buttermilk and vanilla in a cup. Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium-high until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes, then add egg, beating until combined well. Reduce speed to low and add flour mixture and buttermilk mixture alternately in batches, beginning and ending with flour mixture, and mixing just until smooth.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of batter 1 inch apart onto baking sheets. Bake, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until tops are puffed, edges are pale golden, and cookies spring back when touched, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a rack to cool.
- Mix peanut butter and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
- Mix cocoa and butter together with a hand mixer. Gradually blend in the sugar and half and half. Blend until fluffy and light. Can be prepared a day or two in advance, tightly wrapped, and refrigerated. Allow to come to room temperature before using.
