• 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.

Steps:

• 1. Interpretation of Scripture Cake
• 2. Beat together untill light and fluffy 1/2 cup butter,2 cups sugar,and 2 tablespoons honey. Beat 6 egg yolks, untill light and add sifted mixture of 1 1/2 cups of sifted flour, 2 tsp. baking powder,2 tsp. cinnamon, 1/2 tsp. nutmeg,1/2 tsp. cloves,and a pinch of salt, in alternate portions with 1/2 cup of milk. Stir in 2 cups chopped figs, 2 cups raisens, and 2 cups chopped almonds. Fold in 6 egg whites, beaten stiff. Bake the cake in a well greased tube pan (line it with greased brown paper for extra protection in the oven) 2 hours at 300 degrees

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.
