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.

    Forgot to toast the coconut, which would've taken it to the next level, but was simply making it as a weeknight cake so: fine. Used unsweetened coconut and did not find it lacking sweetness. Lined a sheet pan with parchment, baked for 25 min, and cut into quarters before layering. Worked a dream.

    Claire and I made this for Mila's annual cake contest. It is a no brainer dessert, perfect for when you want something easy but that has the wow factor finish. The store bought cake and pudding mix, combined with the coconut makes for a moist cake. The cream cheese frosting applies easily and the toasted coconut garnish really makes it a home run. We made 1 layer and cooked it for a lot longer than suggested in the book or on the back of the box.
