    Can substitute the book’s “Faux redcurrant jam” for the “Sour cherry levkar” mentioned in this recipe.

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: Whipped cream (20th Century Cafe schlag); Peach leaf cream

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.

    Surprisingly easy cake once you have the key ingredients together. I baked the cake before dinner and let it cool while we ate, then put it together quickly to serve for dessert. The biggest challenge was ordering poppy seeds (Penzeys), and making the sour cherry levkar in advance. I used the small smoothie blender that came with my Ninja to grind the poppy seeds - worked great!! Cake mixed, baked, sliced and layered easily. Produced only 6 servings.
