The Best Haitian Cake

Baking is one of my favorite pass times. More like eating cake is one of my favorite pass times LOL. One of my favorite cakes is Haitian cake. I searched high and low for the perfect recipe and I couldn’t find one that suited my preference.
I kept on finding recipes that had way too much of this ingredient and too little of that ingredient. So I decided to experiment with bits and pieces of different recipes until I came up with one I loved.

This recipe for Haitian cake doesn’t have a ton of sugar in it, it’s dense yet very moist amongst other good qualities.

I used Rhum Barbancourt in my recipe, you can use any rum but that’s my favorite when making this, it is Haitian cake after all so why not use Haitian rum. I filled it with strawberry and pineapple filling (click on the words to be directed to those recipes) and frosted it with buttercream frosting. I went with two fillings simply because I’m greedy like that LOL.

I made the buttercream with both vanilla and almond extract to give it that authentic Haitian cake flavor. After so much trial and error I can honestly say I’m so proud of this and I hope you give this cake a try and love it as much as I do!

          I totally agree with you, it’s not like I don’t want to support my people. I don’t want to buy a book for just one recipe. However, there are plenty of other recipes on Youtube for free, which are just as good. Manie even though, I don’t want to purchase your book, I still think you are doing a great job.

I’ve been wanting to try Haitian cuisine and probably whip something on my own. I guess you’re right; you’re video confirmed that Haitian food is more than just Back rice and Griot. I’m still a newbie to this, I wonder where could I find a Haitian restaurant that serves the best dishes.
