Chocolate gingerbread from Feast - Food That Celebrates Life (UK) (page 278) by Nigella Lawson

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.

    Can substitute molasses for black treacle.

    A real favourite-especially with added chunks of stem or crystallised ginger!

    This is an absolute winner. Much better the next day. So fudgy and full of flavour.

    This cake is absolutely delicious, and my husband's "best cake ever!" The recipe is available online on Nigella's website. I got it in her daily email, and it has inspired me to buy the book.

    I love this recipe! The cake is gorgeously dark and dense with a hint of spice - the glossy icing really sets it off.
