The first cake I ever made that was not from a box was a Maida Heatter recipe. Royal Viennese Walnut Torte from her Great Desserts book. I found the recipe card that I'd copied it on oh those 42 years ago - it was a library book. I don't have her cake book but you might want to check it out.  https://www.amazon.com/Maida-Heatters-Cakes-Heatter/dp/0836250745

I have the 35th Anniversary Edition of The Cake Bible preordered:

 (eG-friendly Amazon.com link)

 

Will be fun to see what's changed.  Thirty percent new content is promised.  Besides, my thirty year old Cake Bible copy is showing its age.
