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 also make all the cakes in this book in an 8" x 8" square tin and half the recipe - which works perfectly. So many good recipes in this book!

    @IvyManning Every recipe in this book is formulated for a 9" x 13" cake pan - same for One Tin Bakes Easy. I think it's a standard size and easy to find in US cookware shops - definitely easy to find in Canada and the UK! Also, an 8" x 8" pan will work for a half recipe. You'll just have to lower the baking time a bit ...

    This recipe requires both coconut oil and butter in a high fat to sugar ratio. It's unusual in that it requires 5 egg whites, but they aren't whipped before folding into the mix, so it's not a particularly light cake and kinda a waste of yolks. Still don't understand why you'd only use the whites, headnotes don't shed much light on method here. Also of note, there are no pan sizes, so it's a wild guess whether a standard 9x 10 would work. That's what I used and the cake turned out a kind of weird dry and crumbly, not awful, but not worth the effort, either. I have tried a few other recipes from this book that were okay (matcha roll and cherry evoo cake) they worked out ok, but for s baking book, I think this one lacks rigorous editing/writing FWIW or the translation from British style to American kitchens was phoned in, at best. Would not recommend this book to beginners

    I thought it would be lighter- so not sure whether it is due to my technique or lack of it or ?, but it came out like a coconut pound cake. I am not a fan of plain dried coconut so toasted it for the topping & put a few strawberries on top. Not a repeat for me because I would like a delicate not sturdy coconut cake.
