There is no ingredient0 in the recipe.

It’s not actually that simple a recipe; it’s a traditional, regional cake made with yeast dough, which requires a bit of effort and careful attention to the timing.

Sorry, translation error, salt was forgotten (fixed in step 1).

Yes, there IS salt in the ingredient list, and no, you never say when to add it.

Also, if you are going to provide the option of clicking to make half or double the default amount of two cakes, it would be helpful to footnote the instructions that accompany the photos. I clicked to make half a recipe, and almost got tricked into dividing one cake’s worth of batter into two pans.

I think you should post information about consumption of uncooked apricot kernels as follows: Apricot kernels and the seeds of apples and pears contain a naturally occurring toxin (amygdalin). When eaten, this toxin can react with stomach enzymes and release a poison (cyanide) in the gut. This can cause stomach ache, illness, and can be fatal, especially for children.

For those new to this, like me, please note that the two means of cooking are 'either/or' rather than 'and,' especially as instructions are numbered as if it were a two step process. It might save some people time and money.

I have often cooked mushrooms like this, and find them an excellent side-dish with a good steak.
(I also add a few chilli flakes for just a little bit of 'zip'!)

A useful article, and that many younger folks may not have considered using the tails. (I always include full sprigs when making stock, for example.

Thank you.
