Chocolate Guinness cake from Nigella by Nigella Lawson

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.

    Can substitute whipping cream for double cream.

    Third time making this and it turned out well. Springform pan made a nice, tall cake, with only the slightest sink in the middle. Baked an hour but that was probably too long. Frosting was perfect consistency. Only had about 6 or 7 oz. of cream cheese (bar, not tub), used 1 cup powdered sugar, and added 1/2 cup of heavy whipping cream that I had whipped to soft peaks. Nigella site’s recipe calls for 18 tablespoons of butter, but other recipes or adaptations online use 10 or 12. I used 10 and it seemed fine. May try more next time but 17 seems like a lot!
