Sorrel Fruit Cake

Recipe by Racquel’s Caribbean Cuisine

A moist, fragrant Caribbean sorrel fruit cake soaked in a rum‑wine sorrel syrup. The cake gets its vibrant red hue from brewed sorrel petals, blended tropical fruits, and a hint of lime zest, with subtle notes of vanilla, almond, and rose water. Perfect for holidays or any celebration.

Critical Success Points

  • Brewing and pureeing the sorrel petals to obtain a smooth, richly colored liquid.
  • Creaming butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  • Folding dry ingredients gently to avoid over‑mixing.
  • Baking with a water bath to keep the cake moist.
  • Applying the sorrel‑rum soaking syrup while the cake is still warm.

Safety Warnings

  • Handle hot sorrel brew with care to avoid burns.
  • Use oven mitts when placing/removing pans from the oven.
  • Alcohol in the soaking syrup can be flammable; keep away from open flames.
