[Sca-cooks] Johannesburg Torte was researching recipes

[Terry Decker]

Just as an opinion, the proportions of the dough mixture are way off
compared to the late period recipes I have.   It more closely resembles some
cake recipes from the 19th Century.

I think I would also compare the recipe to those in La Varenne's The French
Pastry Chef (La Pastissier Francois) first published in 1563.
