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.

    Cooked for our two year olds birthday. It was a little dry but I made it the day before and maybe didn’t seal it well enough. Would make again.

    Excellent cake recipe that’s easy to follow and execute. I used cake flour since I had it on hand and made it in a half sheet pan with great results. The flavor of the cake had that nostalgic box cake flavor that I was craving but more vanilla-y and elevated. The texture was perfectly light and fluffy. I made the suggested tangy chocolate frosting to go with it and that also came out very good. This will be my go-to recipe for yellow cake.
