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

    It's described as an old fashioned chocolate cake but it was a much better version than any I've ever had (or made). It was rich and chocolatey with a fine moist crumb. I baked the batter in 3 pans with cake strips so the layers were perfectly flat and didn't require trimming. I applied most of the syrup to the bottom and sides of each cake layer as the untrimmed tops didn't absorb it very well. The cake was frosted with the book's Chocolate Pudding Buttercream. Excellent with a glass of cold milk.
