Cooking Kvetch

I lost my Grand Marnier Cake recipe. I'm baking tonight. I couldn't re-find it anywhere online, and eventually settled for another acceptable recipe using Grand Marnier after switching the search to "orange cake." But I'm telling you, try finding a cake recipe on most open source recipe sites that contains none of following ingredients:

*pre-packaged cake mix
*Cool Whip
*Miracle Whip (aaahhhggg!!)
*Nilla Wafers
*canned frosting
*Sprite, flattened

Gross. It stopped being funny after about 30 recipes. I need more quality cookbooks, and I need them now.

I'm just about to start. It'll have a lemon curd filling. Pretty psyched, but nervous since it's my first time making it. :-)
