Does anyone have the recipe for this, and wanting to make it for Christmas as gifts, and the pages in my OLD Edmonds cookbook are torn and missing. Thank you in advance

mackenzie2, what age/era Edmonds Cookbook should this recipe be found in!I have two 'old' Edmonds Cookbooks (from the 1970s) and neither of them have a recipe for Cathedral Loaf.:-))
Nothing in my old book either. Does it have another name!
