- 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.
