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.

    Made a half portion again sans almond extract and it is delicious and so easy, glad I tried it again. I love the frosting although it is quite simple it is really satisfying. As written it kind of makes a ludicrous amount of frosting unless you pile your frosting really high, so next time I would halve the amount required so I don't have a lot of leftover frosting to reduce temptation of eating it straight out of the bowl...

    Made a half portion (7 cupcakes). The crumb was nice and the flavor was mostly good but the almond extract overpowered everything and my husband refused to eat them. I like almond extract but I agree it was pretty overpowering and they tasted more like almond cupcakes than vanilla cupcakes which was disappointing. Next time I would omit the almond extract entirely and I am confident they would be delicious. Note to self to also sub vanilla extract for almond if I make the soft almond sugar cookie bars from the same book.
