Black cake from How To Be a Domestic Goddess: Baking and the Art of Comfort Food (UK) (page 250) 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.

    Some copies of this edition have a misprint in the recipe relating to the use of fruit mixture. All the fruit mixture should be used rather than half. This noted on Nigella Lawson's website: http://www.nigella.com/kitchen-queries/view/Black-Cake-/3750.

    Very rich - great Christmas cake. Do need to plan ahead though.
