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

    As directed, this is a heavenly cake when served alongside tea, especially in the fall. Next time I would trade out walnuts in favor of almonds, and would increase the amount of amaretto. I used a 9x5 loaf pan, but I think that was too small for this amount of batter. I needed to bake it for an extra long amount of time, which dried it out slightly. Used 25% of the master crumble recipe. Would make again!

    Like jifar, I added ground almonds to the crumble. The crumble recipe is for a large amount, for this recipe I prepared 10%, and it was the perfect amount. I used only 75g of apple and 200g pear. I was afraid the cinnamon and cloves would dominate, but no fear - it was a perfect complement. A light and delicately flavored cake. The ONLY negative is that I dirtied up 7 bowls!

    This is a lovely cake. I suspect I will make it again.
