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.

    Moist and delicious! Next time I'll try reducing oil (used corn oil) and sugar per Frogcake,but it was a hit with quality vanilla ice cream

    I’ve reported on this recipe in the past. It’s been a family favourite for many years. This time around I fiddled with the oil and sugar quantities, and I’m reporting here a successful result. Reducing the sugar and oil by half a cup each worked very well. I also added half a cup of 3% fat plain yogurt and replaced the walnuts with chopped roasted pecans. The cake is not as moist (in an oily way) but equally delicious and I prefer the finer crumb texture. I would definitely make the cake again with the changes. I would be interested to know how the calorie count changed.

    This is our favourite Apple cake. Important to use freshly chopped walnuts here. I've also used olive oil, which works very well to produce a delicate crumb. I increase the cinnamon by one half teaspoon for more spicy flavour. A good recipe for using almost expired apples in your bin.

    pg 752, 3rd most recommended recipe. OK in an angel food cake pan. JoanN prefers Kate Zuckerman's.

    Based on oil rather than butter, it creates a light, airy crumb that’s delicious while it lasts, with walnuts, raisins and slivers of apple threading the cinnamon-scented dough.
