Milk tea swamp cake with sago pearls from The Art of Escapism Cooking: A Survival Story, with Intensely Good Flavors (page 354) by Mandy Lee

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.

    This is such a unique cake! If you’re a huge fan of boba milk tea then this is a must try. I added bobba pearls bc I have them available. It makes a good amount of cake so there were leftovers. Those were good but eating them fresh outta the oven is when it’s best!!!

    I loved this! I was a bit skeptical with the lack of clarity around the baking pan, but I didn’t overthink it and found two mini baking dishes (my posted pic shows them on a quarter sheet pan). I had to bake it a bit longer than the recipe called for, just over 30 mins, but it came out perfectly. The most annoying part was making the sago/tapioca, so if you can - make the tapioca and milk tea well in advance, unless you have a long stretch of time ahead of you. Would absolutely make this again, it was so delicious!
