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

    Makes a very big coffee cake. The cake rose in the glass 9x13x2 to fill it completely. I'm not sure I can detect the cocoa powder in the swirl but this is a nice, soft cake with a good pecan crumb topping. I overbaked a bit and got a very dark bottom, so next time I'll follow the instructions and only bake one hour.

    There’s a lot going on with each bite of this cake and every bit of it is delicious! It’s a moist vanilla cake with a cinnamon-cocoa swirl and a crunchy, nutty streusel topping. I cut it into 24 (it bakes in a 9”x13” pan) but could have easily cut 30, and possibly even 36 pieces as the cake holds together very well and not much of the streusel topping is lost during slicing. Excellent for feeding a crowd.

    Impossibly light crumb. I'm surprised it supports the thick layer of pecan crumble. This cake is rich but if I am to make a classic coffee cake, this is a great choice. I love the fact that it is baked in a 9x13 instead of a bundt pan. Much easier to portion.http://www.flickr.com/photos/wscwong/4793128899/

    I made a giant coffee cake. And the larger point is: it was so outrageously good, with a chocolate cinnamon swirl inside and pecans on top, that it was gone in a matter of days.

    The cake is moist and tender with swirls of cocoa and cinnamon and the crumb topping is exactly right - not too overwhelming but just gives that cake that extra crunch it needs.
