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

Accompaniments: Vanilla whipped cream

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

  • ashallen on August 08, 2019

    As the author says in the headnotes to this recipe, this cake has a soft and somewhat pillowy texture. The flavor's also on the softer/moderate side. I took this out of the oven ~10 minutes earlier than the recipe suggested but still found the texture to be drier and more crumbly than I prefer in a chocolate cake (as you can probably tell, I prefer moist and intense chocolate cakes!). Adding frosting was helpful.
