The cake, the cake! Ummmmmm... Looks delish. Where can I find the recipe?

Nancy

Just now, I googled "Sephardic Chocolate Cake" and got a link to a google news site, to the Reading Eagle, July 27, 1973 - with an article on Claudia Roden & her cookbook. The recipe was included in the article.

Now, to get Bill to make this for me!! :-)

Why on earth consume this in moderation? One of the few cakes I bake and always absolutely delicious. No serious cook should be without Claudia Roden's A New Book of Middle Eastern Food in my opinion.

Erika

Yes, three cheers for Claudia Roden--although I browse through her book more than I cook from it. I will be reading "Reuben Sachs" and am ashamed not to have heard of it or the author. Meanwhile I am entranced by the plate on which the cake is sitting...

The 31st of March is my birthday so I think I shall be eating some non-virtual cake :)

Delicios Karen, I can taste it from here! x

Darlene

A surfeit of muffins is better than a surfeit of lampreys I should think and Henry I would most likely agree.

Such a delicious looking cake, Cornflower!

Claire

Having just listened to you on i-player whilst eating my lunch. You sound amazingly relaxed - well done! By happy chance I started reading The New House last night. Extra interest will be added now trying to guess what you might bake. Only a few pages in but I know I'm going to enjoy it.

Cornflower

Thankyou, Claire. I must say I didn't feel relaxed, especially having to wait til the very end to be on, but I'm glad I sounded alright!

Verity

Yum!
