SCRIPTURE CAKE



Scripture Cake image

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?

Yield 2 (9-in.) loaves

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup (8 oz.) salted butter, softened
2 cups granulated sugar
1 tablespoon honey
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons baking powder
½ teaspoon table salt
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon ground cloves
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
3 ½ cups (about 14 7/8 oz.) all-purpose flour, divided, plus more for pans

1 cup coarsely chopped toasted slivered almonds

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.

  • 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.
