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

    This recipe - as seen on the cover - is pretty much why I bought the book. I made the cake with oranges straight from my tree and rosemary straight from my garden. It couldn't have been more disappointing, however. The batter and resultant cake were really dry (maybe because the flour measurements are given in cups rather than by weight?). The oranges pretty much steam in the syrup, which is yummy, but not like the apparent caramelization in the picture. I used a silicone cake pan instead of the springform one the recipe calls for, so maybe the effect would be different in the springform. However, the springform wouldn't allow for much syrup without spilling over, which is probably why there's not enough syrup in the recipe. The oranges end up retaining quite a bit of bitterness in the pith that isn't mitigated enough by the scant syrup. My 4yo son, who was incredibly excited to try the cake, gave me this devastating review: "Mommy, I love you, but I don't like the cake."
