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 lime or orange for lemon, and cake flour for all-purpose flour.

    As simple in preparation as it is in taste. Lovely little anytime cake.

    This was a really easy cake that was also very good. I used orange zest. It was not too sweet and had really good flavor.

    This was very good. I used orange. It developed a nice crust on the top that was very satisfying.

    Loved the not-too-sweet flavor and dense texture. It did take quite a bit longer in the oven than expected, but may be due to my silicone pan.

    This was both surprisingly easy and surprisingly good. I made it in the morning to go with coffee, it’s that fast. It’s sweet but not too sweet, so it was not unreasonable as a breakfast pastry. I substituted orange for the lemon (I had it on hand), used a 9-inch cake pan and baked for 35 minutes.
