  • The source lists cocoa twice, including “750 g cocoa”, then uses butter in the method without listing a butter quantity. Cream and icing sugar are given as a carton and a box. Baking is described only as “a long time”, without an oven setting. No guessed correction is substituted for these omissions. Source 1 · Source 2 · Source 3 · Source 4
