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 go to butter cake. Never fails! I use a loaf tin and follow the recipe meticulously Orange butter icing adds a little bit of tang.

    Used this recipe to make a 3 layer blueberry and lemon cake - really lovely light and fluffy cake. Make sure to beat the butter and sugar for quite a while! I did it for around 15 minutes, and to get some lemon flavour, added lemon zest to the sugar before beating. The icing is also from the lemon Swiss meringue in buttercream in Emelia’s book.
