What you are copyrighting is the actual words, ie., the ingredient list and method, not the thing itself. You cannot lift the recipe wholesale and republish it without permission, but anyone can make the torte itself. OTOH, someone can change the order of your words, write their own description, and still have the "same" recipe.
