I’m on a hunt for an egg free cake- and I found this one. I’m going to make it next week, butI can’t decide whether I’m optimistic or not! Not sure, in particular about the aniseedy flavour. I love Ottolenghi, though so fingers crossed. Place your bets/opinions here!

I bet it’s amazing, but be prepared for disappointment from anyone who eats it expecting a more straightforward sweet chocolate cake.

I’d eat it made with the date syrup alternative , but I can’t stand carob, and I’m generally not fussy.

I don’t like carob either-I’m hoping I won’t be able to taste it…..
