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.

    Can substitute hazelnut flour for almond flour and golden syrup for honey.

    I didn't love this one as I'd hoped, mostly because the final texture wound up being a bit rubbery. I was concerned about overmixing the batter, as it took quite a while to fully blend the (ten!) egg whites into the mix. I didn't bother with the glaze, since I tried the cake first without it, and decided it wouldn't improve it enough to warrant the additional ingredients.
