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

    Not having used chocolate much for cooking, I followed the recipe which said to add 1T water (with coffee granules dissolved in it) to the melted chocolate. My smooth runny chocolate immediately turned to a stiff lump. Didn't take much research to find that water is the enemy of melted chocolate, causing seizure. Don't know why the recipe is worded this way - would be much better to add melted chocolate and coffee separately to the egg mixture. I used a couple of tablespoons of oil to recover the chocolate sufficiently to use, but not sure what effect it'll have on taste and texture - cake is still in oven.
