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.

    Excellent.

    This is a nice cake and easy to make. I wouldn't say it's going to be regular repeat though my guests seemed to enjoy it. One thing I'd change is to make the almond clusters less wide. The instructions say to overlap the almond slices slightly but the flatness meant the clusters softened as soon as they were placed on the apricot glaze. I'd prefer them with a bit of crunch.

    Local apricots are just in season here, and they were beautifully showcased in this cake.It looks fabulous, and is very fragrant. I found the exterior a little dry so would cut the baking time a bit next time. You definitely want to serve this with ice cream.

    This is my first recipe from this book. I made this gluten free almond, orange and apricot cake last Sunday. I actually used my Thermomix to do most of the batter and it was very easy. Being winter, I had to use tinned apricots. Lovely flavours but a bit dense. Yummy with some crème fraîche or ice-cream.
