Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Just OK, but I'm not sure it came out as author intended. Gluten + dairy-free. Weight and volume quantities in book's ingredient list don't match for granulated sugar, confectioners' sugar, poppy seeds, and almonds - I chose volumes since they looked more reasonable. Sugar quantities differ by 1-2 tbsp which is probably OK, but poppy seeds and almonds differ by 1/4-1/2 c which makes a difference. Also, this is my first torte with this many eggs (6 whites + 12 yolks!). It wasn't clear to me from recipe whether double boiler step with yolks + sugar was meant to cook (e.g to 155F=what I did) or simply warm them -need to research! Not too surprisingly, torte had an "eggy" vibe relative to other tortes in both flavor and texture - not terrible, but it wasn't what I was hoping for. Spice + orange flavors were nice and didn't overwhelm poppy seed flavor, but I missed having butter flavor. Yogurt strainer worked great for draining the ground poppy seeds.
