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.

Notes about this recipe

  • Foodycat on April 05, 2026

    I made a half quantity in a loaf pan and boy were the volume measurements annoying. I don't mind things measured in cups but this measured in ml things that had no business being measured in ml. I was worried that SR flour AND baking powder AND baking soda would end up tasting metallic, but it didn't. The raising agents and the oil made a really tender, light cake, but the flavour was disappointing. If I were to make it again, I would add a good pinch of salt and double the amount of cinnamon, or add an equal amount of ginger or nutmeg or something.
