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

Accompaniments: Cocoa glaze; Fluffy chocolate frosting

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.

    Nice - the top was a little too browned after 35mins. Perhaps my over but it did feel a little too long to leave it in there.

    In the words of my teenage son, "It slaps".

    This is good but not very sweet. I think the peanut butter chips are a good idea for next time to add more sweetness. There also isn’t much glaze for the amount of cake, which makes it even less sweet. I made it in a 9” round pan and pulled it out at 40 minutes, which was perfect.

    Another tasty cake. Didn't make the glaze but thought it was rich, moist and flavorful without it.

    The author says in the recipe notes that if you really want to gild the lily, you can add 1/2 cup of peanut butter chips to the batter right before it goes in to the oven. I was really glad I did this, as it's a really thick chocolate cake, with not a lot of icing for all that cake. It's a good recipe, to be sure, but I would highly recommend adding the PB chips for some extra interest.

    this is a tasty cake and I am not a huge peanut butter fan. But my teen daughter has made it three times over the past 6 weeks or so - she loves it.
