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.

    Can substitute raisins for sweetened shredded coconut and canned crushed pineapple.

    Made this today and it was delicious! I added the coconut, crushed pineapple, and walnuts which I chopped pretty small in my food processor. We are not big cream cheese fans, so I drizzled with a maple glaze. Sadly this did not unmold from my well-greased bundt pan as I had hoped, so I wish I had stuck to the 9x13 pan as per the recipe, BUT it was so delicious I didn't care :)

    Made recipe exactly as instructed (9x13) using the coconut and pineapple but no raisins. It was so moist and tasty and delicious. Lots of compliments and even a few requests for the recipe. Will definitely make this again! (But will line with parchment because it did stick a little)

    Lovely! Reduced eggs from 4 to 3; replaced 1 cup oil with 1 cup unsweetened applesauce; used a scant 3/4 cup brown sugar + a scant 1 cup granulated sugar for the sugar; added a few drops of coconut extract (along with the vanilla); and used all the add-ins: chopped walnuts, shredded coconut, crushed pineapple, raisins (plumped in apple cider: some of the excess was intended to compensate for the missing egg)--plus a grated Golden Delicious apple. Baked in a rectangular aluminum pan at temperature and for time listed. Browned nicely and pulled away from the sides of the pan upon cooling. Prepared a frosting of cream cheese, a touch of butter, and apple cider (reduced to a syrup with a cinnamon stick: I stirred about 1/3 cup granulated sugar into the syrup at the end so I wouldn't have to forage for the powdered sugar). Moist, flavorful, and quite delicious! Will make again, I'm sure.
