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.

    Loved this cake and will make again; crunchy top a bonus. I made as directed but used lairds apple brandy instead of calvados.

    This is a lovely, dense cake full of apples, walnuts and spice. I made it as a breakfast cake and it feels more like a dessert cake because it is a bit sweet. I think it would be lovely with the suggested creme fraiche as a special dessert. The recipe says to bake this for 85-90 minutes but mine was perfectly done with a crackly top at about 75 minutes.
