Almond-coconut cake with cherries and pistachios from Milk Street Bakes: A Baking Book with 200 Sweet and Savory Recipes (page 340) by Christopher Kimball

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.

    Wonderful cake based on a Honey & Co. recipe. If you have mahleb, add some in place of the almond extract. It’s very good without, but I do like the version from Honey & Co. with mahleb more.

    This was a lovely little cake. It wasn’t overindulgent, just sweet enough to have in the afternoon with coffee. I enjoyed the contrasting textures of the juicy cherries and crunchy nuts on top. And who doesn’t love almond and cherry together? Just really nice, and simple to put together. I would make it again.
