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.

    I used walnuts and a Cara Cara orange for the juice and zest. Wonderful taste and texture for a not-too-sweet treat. We topped it with vanilla crème fraiche and a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Will make again—its so easy.

    This was lovely and very easy to throw together. I used a Cara Cara orange, and the flavor was wonderfully citrusey. Almond meal from Trader Joe's worked well here. This is a simple but elegant cake.

    So delicious and simple. Pairs perfectly with tea on a snowy afternoon (made it during a blizzard). I used orange zest + fresh-squeezed orange juice, and premixed bag of assorted "nut toppings" (incl. almond, pecans, peanuts). Result: a hit of fresh citrusy zing, topped off by nuttiness, with tender crumb. Would def make it again and again. So easy, many possible variations.
