The amount of butter in Dundee Cake!

Asked on 24 Sep 2016 by Vicky

Delia's Scottish Whisky Dundee cake In her original Christmas book uses 150g of butter. The Traditional Dundee cake in Delia's Cakes only uses 50g of spreadable butter. The two recipes are almost identical so I am wondering if the smaller amount of butter in her more recent book is a typing error? Should this also be 150g because 50g of butter does not seem much for quite a large cake? Clarification of this point will be much appreciated. Many thanks. Ann Parsons

Dear Ann,

You have quite rightly spotted a typo in the recipe for Dundee Cake in Delia’s new book. This was corrected on the second print run so you must have a copy from the first print run.

The quantity of butter is as you say 150g not 50g.

We are really sorry and very grateful that you have highlighted it for like-minded members.

Many thanks

Lindsey
