Исходное описание на английском языке. Русский перевод ещё не добавлен.

Torta negra is a Colombian black cake that is usually served at special occasions such as weddings, baptisms, and Christmas. This rich cake is filled with figs, raisins, and prunes, spiked with port and rum, and generously flavored with warming spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and nutmeg. The sweet burnt brown sugar known as dulce quemado is used as a sweetening agent, although it can be replaced with molasses if there is no dulce quemado available. Other key ingredients include eggs, butter, flour, and baking powder. The preparation of this cake is time-consuming since it requires soaking and cooling, so it is recommended to start preparing it at least 6 days before baking.
