Bible Cake - using verses of the bible

hev_2

I can't find anything in my house at the moment, not my diary, my to-do list, not anything. I haven't seen the plot in weeks

One thing I can't find is a recipe for bible cake. It refers to verses in the bible so it will say (for example) Genesis 13:12 (made up reference) which refers to a peck of meal.

I have got a copy somewhere, but I have no idea where, and I am rather caught up with my 6 month old DS. (I really admire people who can cope with all sorts of things andbabies)

I know the recipe is a bit odd, and I have yet to see a version of the bible that refers to self raising flour, but I would love to have it for my DS's christening.

Can anyone help?

Many Thanks

Hev

Here's another one http://funandgames.org/quiz_bible_cake.htm

I've made this, sometimes known as Scripture Cake, for my Gran. I included the recipe for her to work out. It went down very well. The recipe I used was from Cakes Regional and Traditional by Julie Duff.

I am looking forward to trying them out. I am assuming that the sweetener will be honey, but I shall be searching my old King James Bible for the references.

I love recipes from the days before meals went 'ping'.

Thank you so much.

If you can't find your KJV, then look on https://www.biblegateway.com and put in the refs and select the translation that you want

Thank you, inkie. There must be at least six bibles in this house, and that includes two KJV (DH got into theology) but at the moment I can't guarantee to find my own head

Really appreciate the tip.

Gosh this takes me way back to when I was little - my Gran used to make Bible Cake! I shall follow up those quoted above and remember Gran. Thanks!
