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

    Cake tasted good, although a bit sticky so hard to slice neatly. Frosting a disappointment - turned out very gloopy (which could have been my fault) and lacking in flavour (just very sweet vanilla). If making again, try as cupcakes or use different frosting. Didn't add colouring as mixture was a nice purple, but should have done as it faded when baked.
