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.

    Great cake! I made the cream cheese frosting from the Silver Palate cookbook, but omitted the lemon juice.

    I've tried making this cake in a ring pan and a bundt pan, because I wanted a pretty form, but it is just too moist for that. It needs the flat pan with the parchment. So I finally gave in and made a full recipe in a springform lined with parchment, which worked perfectly. I don't think this cake needs frosting or any accompaniment, so I dusted with powdered sugar. The sugar eventually melted into the moist cake, so it needs dusting at the last minute. It's a fabulous, moist, flavorful cake. Mr. Nightshade has requested for all his birthdays, my birthday, and Christmas.
