Steps:

  • 1. Search the scripture for your ingredients: This is the first scripture to look up. Key Words:butter, sweet cane, eggs, fine flour, salt, leavened, sweet cinnamon, spices, milk, almonds, figs, and raisins
  • 2. Chop up your dates for cake.
  • 3. Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and honey. Add egg yolks. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • 4. Add desired spices, such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, and nutmeg. Add dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with the milk.
  • 5. Beat egg whites until stiff and fold into the batter.
  • 6. Coat the chopped figs, raisins, and almonds with flour to keep them from sinking to the bottom, and stir them into the mixture.
  • 7. Pour into your cake pan and bake in a well-greased 10-inch tube pan for 2 hours.
  • 8. For Burnt Jeremiah Syrup: In a 2-quart saucepan over low heat, melt sugar, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. After sugar melts, continue cooking, stirring continuously, until it is a deep golden brown. Add water and cook, stirring frequently, until smooth. Remove from the heat, add butter and stir till until it melts; allow to cool. Drizzle over cooled scripture cake and garnish with sliced almonds. ----[Why is it called Burnt Jeremiah Syrup? "And if I say, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name, then there is in my heart as it were a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am weary with forbearing, and I cannot contain." Jeremiah 20:9] Burnt Jeremiah Syrup is from:gratefulprayerthankfulheart.blogspot.com
  • 9. Here is a great verse to share with those who are helping to prepare this cake: All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man[woman] of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16,17)
  • 10. There is a bakery called Simply Fruit Cakes in the UK that sells these Scripture Cakes in beautiful tins. Her motto is: Baked from the Heart. Here is the link:http://www.simplyfruitcakes.co.uk/index.php
  • 11. Here is a little history I found on hushpuppynation.com: Scripture cake was also known as "Bible Cake," "Scriptural Cake" and "Old Testament Cake," and was extremely popular in the latter part of the nineteenth century, especially in the southern Appalachians. The cake was meant as a way to teach young girls baking and Bible verses. The earliest recipe for this cake I have been able to find was published in the Atlanta Constitution on June 27, 1897. Some researchers believe the cake dates to the late 1700s in England or Ireland, while others claim the cake a favorite of Dolly Madison, wife of U.S. president James Madison.

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.

SCRIPTURE CAKE

I adapted this recipe from Jane Grigson's British Cookery (unfortunately out-of-print). I use French Tart's excellent recipe for mixed spice.

Time 2h10m

Yield 1 9-inch cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 lb raisins (approximately 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 lb dried fig, trimmed and quartered (approximately 1 1/3 cups)
1/2 lb unsalted butter, softened (1 cup)
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
3 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon mixed spice
2 ounces sliced almonds (approximately 1/3 cup)
milk, as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 300Ëš Fahrenheit. Place the raisins and figs in a large bowl and cover with just-boiled water. Set aside. Grease a 9"-round springform pan and line the bottom with parchment paper. Place on a baking sheet and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter and sugar then beat in the honey. Add the eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Mix in the flour, a cup at a time, adding the salt, baking powder and mixed spice with the last cup of flour. Don't overmix.
  • Drain the raisins and figs then gently stir into the cake batter. Stir in the almonds, as well. I found that the dampness from the soaked fruit was enough liquid to make the cake batter perfectly moist. However, if your batter is too stiff, add milk (about a tablespoon at a time), to thin it out.
  • Drop the batter into the cake tin (you'll probably want a wooden spoon or spatula for this), then smooth out the surface of the batter. Bake in the middle of the oven 1 ½ to 2 hours. The cake is ready when a tester inserted in the middle comes out clean.
  • Cool the cake in its tin on a rack for about ten minutes, then remove the cake from the tin to cool completely.
