Well, not a solution, but I do have these...

Do these in order (I'm using Maple)...

            /Pi

           | exp(r cos(x)) dx = 2 Pi BesselI(0, r)
           |
          /-Pi

          /Pi

         | exp(r cos(x - T)) dx = 2 Pi BesselI(0, r)
         |
        /-Pi

> Int(exp(A*cos(x)+B*sin(x)+C),x=-Pi..Pi) = 2*Pi*exp(C)*BesselI(0,sqrt(A^2+B^2));
        /Pi

       | exp(A cos(x) + B sin(x) + C) dx =
       |
      /-Pi

                      / (1/2)\
                      | / 2 2\ |
   2 Pi exp(C) BesselI\0, \A + B / /

> expand(a*(cos(x)+cos(y))+b*cos(x-y));
    a cos(x) + a cos(y) + b cos(x) cos(y) + b sin(x) sin(y)

  /Pi
 |
 | exp((a + b cos(y)) cos(x) + b sin(x) sin(y) + a cos(y)) dx =
 |
/-Pi

                          / (1/2)\
                          | / 2 2 2\ |
2 Pi exp(a cos(y)) BesselI\0, \(a + b cos(y)) + b sin(y) / /

So your double integral is:

> 2*Pi*int(exp(a*cos(y))*BesselI(0, (a^2+2*b*cos(y)*a+b^2)^(1/2)), y)

I didn't find this, but there may be some hope, because G&R does have
it without the exp...

         /Pi / (1/2)\
        | | / 2 2\ |
        | BesselI\0, \a + 2 b cos(y) a + b / / dy =
        |
       /-Pi

                2 Pi BesselI(0, a) BesselI(0, b)
