Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Accompaniments: White-chocolate rum custard

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.

    This is delicious! Wondering if a spoonful of cocoa would up the chocolate flavour just a bit. Otherwise a lovely loaf, dense and moist and sure to please the crowd. My kids have asked to have this for their birthday which is high praise around here! Will go on my list of regular bakes.

    Loved this! Made 3/4 of the recipe for my silicon loaf mould, it came out really well. Moist, chocolately but holding together. We ate with strawberries and ice cream as she suggested. Will make again.

    Lovely squidgy cake - best served warm. I used milk chocolate instead of dark and came out fine.
