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.

Notes about this recipe

    This recipe has an error. It lists 1/2 cup of white sugar, in addition to the brown sugar, but it never tells you to add it to the recipe. I was making this late on Friday and I realized after I had spent all that time whipping my eggs and then followed the recipe to start adding the melted butter and chocolate. I stopped when I realized it wasn't added, but by then it was too late. I'd already added fat. I had to add the sugar and lost all of the volume in my beaten eggs. This turned out pretty darn flat as a result. It was cooked through and tasted okay. I was just frustrated. This is what happens when I bake while tired. There are other similar recipes that are better written. It's really similar to cloud cake (Richard Sax) with 1 cup of ground walnuts. Deb Perelman has a version of cloud cake and also a flourless walnut cake without any chocolate. I'd just use one of those in future.
