SCRIPTURE CAKE
Historically, the recipe for Scripture Cake called for just that: scripture. Rather than typical ingredients, the traditional recipe included a list of Bible verses instead, requiring the baker to call on her knowledge of scripture to make the cake (or at least compel her to thumb through the Old Testament). "One cup of Judges 5:25," for instance, meant that you needed a cup of butter. Some historians believe the cake originated in England or Ireland in the late 1700s, but the first printed version of the recipe has been attributed to a June 1897 issue of the Atlanta Constitution (now the Atlanta Journal-Constitution). Scripture Cake was especially popular in southern Appalachia in the late 19th century, where it was used as a 2-in-1 tool to teach young women to bake and to commit Bible verses to memory. Here, we've simplified the recipe, so you don't have to thumb through your Bible with shortening on your hands. And because it makes two loaves of the fruitcake-like sweet, you can keep one for yourself and bring the other to a church potluck or share it with a new neighbor. How's that for gospel hospitality?

SCRIPTURE CAKE
Have you heard of scripture cake before? Whether you have or not, you are going to love the flavors and story behind this cake. Scripture cake can be made using a recipe that references foods found in the Bible. So, for example, the recipe ingredients would read "1.5 cups of Judges 5:25 (last part)." When you read the scripture reference, you'll see that this verse references curdled milk. In this case curdled milk is interpreted as butter, so the first ingredient is 1.5 cups of butter! Our recipe includes the Bible verse references, but we also provide the ingredients list for your convenience. Our quick and delicious recipe comes together in no time at all, and the flavors are absolutely delicious. The cake is fluffy and sweet, and it has just the right amount of sugary glaze on top. You'll love making this cake, and sharing the origins of the recipe, with your family!

SCRIPTURE CAKE
This version comes from the 1970 publication of Herb Cottage Cookbook, Washington Cathedral. It is old enough that the scripture is noted with roman numerals chapter number, verse number instead of todays chapter:verse, which I have converted it to.
