Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    This was delicious, love the combination of walnut and halva

  • Foodycat on December 31, 2017

    Delicious - try to keep the halva in big chunks because they add a lot of flavour and texture.

    This is a fun cake. Very rich, with all that halva (maybe mine is extra sweet?). I might try it again with only half the halva. This wouldn't affect the texture in any way, since it's just a layer in the middle of the cake.
