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.

    40-50 mins seems too long for a 2-layer cake - we suggest checking after 30 minutes.

    Everyone loved this cake! I started checking at 40 minutes and it took the full 50 with my oven. I needed to use 2 9” cake pan because we don’t have 8”. Now I need to learn to frost better.

    I was disappointed with this cake. It was kind of bland, and lacking a buttery flavor I expect from yellow cake. I think Increasing vanilla and salt might help. The frosting is very nice. It is whips up beautifully and is fluffy—definitely a kid friendly frosting and one that does not overwhelm yellow cake.
