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.

    My guest told me that this was one of the best cakes he's ever eaten. I enjoyed this as well. The orange flower and honey notes were lovely and the almond flour adds a little more richness to an otherwise simple cake. Note: The "glaze" is more of a soak. We skipped the creme fraisch serving suggestion - it doesn't need it. I used the King Arthur high altitude baking recommendations for the cake flour, baking soda, baking powder, sugar, and oven temp with great success for this cake at 5300 ft altitude.
