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 orange juice for Cointreau.

    Lovely cake, with a great flavor balance between the orange and chocolate. Texture is firm and a bit crumbly, but still very nice. We used the Cointreau, and I just used the zest of two large oranges, as four seemed quite a lot! The recipe called for a bake time of 60-70 minutes, but ours was fully baked at 55 (though my loaf pan is fairly large, so that may have contributed).

    Like a moist pound cake with nicely balanced chocolate & orange flavors. It started to get very dark near the end so I covered it loosely with foil.
