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.

    When I read the head notes in online recipe I was nodding along, I had the same experience last Christmas. This recipe was a total success and got a big thumbs up from my beloved. It’s light, sweet and soaks up all that delicious leche mix. Great recipe!

    Made this for a work potluck. I love the mixing method although I had a hard time getting the flour incorporated without lumps. I also think I didn't poke enough holes in the cake since the moisture level was uneven. I did add 1.5 tablespoons of dark rum to the milk mixture, which made the mixture so tasty I wanted to drink it straight (I also added half a cup less cream since I wasn't going to pour it into plates like the recipe suggests). Overall, I think this recipe has excellent potential once I work out my small issues.
