While at Books-A-Million, I perused the baking sections. They have a great selection of cake recipe books, as well as cake decorating books. After looking through all of them, I purchased "500 Cakes: The Only Cake Compendium You'll Ever Need, " by Susannah Blake.
It's a small book, maybe 5" x 5" but it's full of a lot of different cake recipes, like classic cakes, coffee cakes, cheesecakes, tortes & gateaux, etc.
I have already attempted two recipes (banana cake and classic wedding) and I am impressed with the tastes. Tomorrow evening's attempt: Coffee & Praline Layer Cake. I'll let you know how it goes.

Not sure if you have ever seen Cake Wrecks, but since you are such a cake-y person, you should check it out. :) I find myself shaking my head a lot because I can't believe bakers would actually produce some of those cakes.

Yes, over on my cake blog, I have a link on my side bar to cake wrecks. Love that site.
Do you read Smitten Kitchen? Her cakes look yummy! She seems to be more about the flavor than anything else.
