Yes, I think the error in F-W’s recipe in the Guardian is definitely with the oven temperature and cooking times, but not the quantities. It’s rubbish when newspapers don’t check recipes properly.

Very possibly, because I too found the cake to be barely cooked after 45 minutes at 160. I will try it again at 180. Will persevere because it is a delicious and unusual cake.

I’ve made this one two or three times now and not had a problem with the quantities. I didn’t have a congealed butter problem. Hm. Maybe your oven wasn’t hot enough so it kinda “leaked” while cooking?

This cake is delicious but I wonder if 350g of butter is the right quantity? It seems an awful lot and the cake was standing in congealed butter the next day.
