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.

    Got rave reviews from company. Great flavor and the sea salt is a nice pop.

    Great! Cake is moist and the frosting isn't too sweet. Came together easily. It's not the most polished looking cake, but looks homely and tastes delicious. Everyone enjoyed.

    This was really good - loved the idea of baking a sheet cake and then stacking it. Made the perfect amount for 8 people. The salt really makes it. I used red wine for my liquid.

    My husband made this for my birthday, so I can't comment on the cooking, but the end result was amazing. The salt in the frosting was magical.
