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

    Quite a damp cake. I may have underbaked but the surface got quite brown and a toothpick was coming out clean. The plums sank all the way into the cake. I'm not sure if this is expected or not as the photo in the book is of the cake before it is baked -- I think! Perhaps whipping the butter a little less will provide a denser batter that can support the plums. Flavor is good! I was skeptical of a cake with 4 teaspoons of black pepper, but it's pretty subtle.
