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

    Easy to pull together, and had a lovely fragrance while in the oven. I baked it for 55 minutes at which time the cake tester came out clean, however, this could have used the full 60 minutes. Slightly underdone in the centre. Very gentle taste, with vanilla prominent, and the ginger in the background. 7/10. However, this is really delicious when toasted until the edges are very dark and then slathered with butter. Better than untoasted. 9/10
