FROM THE
RECIPE:
There is fruitcake and there is black cake, which is to fruitcake what Brahmss piano quartets are to Muzak. Its closest relatives are plum pudding and black bun, but they are mere third cousins twice removed. Black cake, like truffles and vintage Burgundy, is deep, complicated, and intense. It is light and dense at the same time and demands to be eaten in a slow, meditative way.
