Christmas cake might not happen!

Can't find black treacle for love nor money (in Spain)

Does anyone know an alternative for cooking the Christmas pudding? Delia asks for black treacle but I'm buggered if I can find it.

Thanks in advance.

Can you try a different one which doesn't need black treacle.

do they have molasses? (same sort of thing but just a different name)

blackstrap molasses seems to be the equivalent of black treacle

Ask someone to post it to you, maybe?

UK-Spain post too slow, I'd like to make it this week. Have looked for molasses but no joy, I also can't get to nearest big city to check all their fancy shmancy shops

wheredidiputit could you point me in the direction of a non-treacle Christmas cake recipe? Do you know of any? Am I better off getting off my lazy ass and googling it?!

can you get dark corn syrup?

I just googled and apparently "melaza" means treacle - if they have a specific word for it it seems weird you can't buy it! Have you googled in Spain to see if a local online deli or something can get it to you?

found a subsitute: Caramel Liquido (if anyone finds themselves in the same situation!), it's basically the brown sticky stuff poured over creme broule.

Al will be well at Christmas time.

Thanks, everyone
