Description
Thanks to the Hulu series Black Cake and Charmaine Wilkerson's bestselling book that it’s based on, there’s been a lot of buzz about the celebratory baked good from the Caribbean. There’s no bigger expert around than Angela Price of The Black Cake Company in Brooklyn and she joins host Jessie Sheehan on today’s episode of She’s My Cherry Pie to share some secrets. Angela has been baking for more than 35 years and learned how to make black cakes and other treats from her mother in Barbados. She started her bakery business after praying for guidance regarding her calling, and today, ships her black cakes, brown cakes, and Dundee cakes around the world. Black cakes, as Angela explains, are particular in that you need to plan far in advance, at least three weeks or more. “You don’t get up in the morning and decide you’re making a black cake,” says Angela, who refers to them as “the Rolls-Royce of cakes.” Tune in and learn about soaking your fruit, why burnt sugar coloring is key, what Falernum is, and more.If you’d like to try one of Angela’s cakes, you can order them online at blackcake.com.
