Marbled sheet cake from What's for Dessert: Simple Recipes for Dessert People (page 176) by Claire Saffitz

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.

    Cake was fine - very boxed cake mix in a good way. Icing was a disaster (turned out so liquidy) and the cream cheese kind of overshadowed the cake itself.

    Very moist and the flavors meld well together without fighting. We made one side the cream cheese frosting listed and one side the chocolate frosting from her first book - they both bring out good flavors from the cake.

    Didn't love this one. Photo looked good and intriguing, but I think it would be much better with chocolate frosting rather than the cream cheese one, which was quite sweet. The cake texture was okay, but flavor was sort of meh for us.
