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.

    #pudcbakeoff I used the optional pecans, but not the coconut flavor. I messed up a little on this one. Made the topping, but couldn't bake the cake right away, so the sugar mixture hardened and did not completely soften in the oven. When unmolding, quite a bit of topping stayed in the pan; I scraped it onto the cake. Baking time was 35 min, at which point the tester came out clean. However, that method isn't fully reliable and it turns out the center of the cake was underbaked and sank upon cooling. Due to the hardened topping, the cake wasn't very attractive. Nevertheless, it was one of our top two favorites, hitting all the right flavor notes. Cake was tender and soft. I need to make it again properly (although not anytime soon).
