Jamaican Christmas Cake - The History. According to Donaldson, our local Christmas Cake is actually a reworking over the centuries of the traditional English plum pudding. The dried fruit ingredients are put to soak for weeks and even months in advance of baking in December. Store and stew prunes with sugar to taste, then chop fine.
