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

  • Bessp on December 03, 2025

    These were a hit as written, but some minor tweaks would put it over the top for me. I'd reduce the cake layer by about 1/3, it was a bit too thick for me. I'd use my go-to pastry cream recipe, which uses less cornstarch, just because I like it better (richer, smoother, and less sweet). I'd also reduce the cream in the ganache by 1/4-1/3 to make it stiffer. Finally, I'd swap out the corn syrup in the ganache for the same amount of coconut oil, again to reduce the sweetness. These were delicious as-is, however, especially if you like things on the sweeter side.
