Christmas cake from The Tivoli Road Baker: Recipes and Notes from a Chef Who Chose Baking (page 226) by Pippa James and Michael James (AU)

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.

    The dark chocolate is essential. Update Dec 2020: I've now made this cake for three Christmases in a row. It is a really great cake.
