Scripture Cake

Posted by Donna:

As I was "surfing" my cookbooks today, I found this recipe for a cake. I've looked at this for years, but thought it was a recipe for a happy life like we've all seen from time to time. The closer I looked at it, I realized it was ingredients for a "real" cake. I had fun looking up all the scriptures to find the ingredients. I hope you enjoy it as well.

*This came from one of my mother's old cookbooks from Harmon County.

Scripture Cake

Look up the ingredients in the Bible.
Where it calls for leavening, use soda.

1 cup Psalms 55:21
3 cups Jeremiah 6:20
6 of Isaiah 10:14
3 1/2 cups IKings 4:22
1 T. I Corinthians 5:6
a small amount of Leviticus 2:13
1 cup Genesis 24:17
1 tsp. of I Samuel 30:12
1 cup Numbers 17:8
2 cups I Samuel 30:12

Season to taste with I Kings 10:10. Mix and follow advice in Proverbs 23:14 for making a good boy. (beat well) Put all the ingredients into a pan and bake 3 hours in a moderate oven.

I haven't made this yet, but my curiosity is getting the best of me. I got a big laugh out of the beat well part---or I guess I should say after I caught on to what it was saying.
