you mean 'to egg yolks add...'
i saw it too on Monday and thought it looked great- but wondered what size of yoghurt pot for 3 eggs- going to try it with a 'cup' size 250ml- we'll see

Should also include two pots of flour. This seemed to be edited out of the TV show!

Also. Nigella whipped egg whites separately and added them at the end, a third then two thirds. Egg yolks in with sugar.

Yes 1 pot is ambiguous.... The nigella page says 150ml. I just made it and the volume fits perfectly into a ring tin. :)

Oh and I think 1.2 hour actually means half an hour. This cake definitely doesn't take over an hour!

Thanks to everyone who corrected my mistakes! I've only just got round to actually trying this recipe and, with your corrections, it was gorgous!
