The farmer's daughter's cake from Maida Heatter's Cakes by Maida Heatter

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

Accompaniments: Old-fashioned chocolate icing

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

    I pulled this cake from the oven a bit early after testing it, but unfortunately, it turned out pretty dry. I came across a few others on the Mad About Maida blog who faced the same issue. Maybe it didn’t have enough fat to flour? This was a rare failure for me from one of Maida’s recipes.
