Sorry about that!

Meant to ping you to the Scripture Cake, but got my people confused. (comes of posting on too many threads at once! )

[tiamat]

Sounds to me like you've been made to read that horrible horrible book even more than I have! LOL!

I LOVE my freezer, too!

Tia!!!!

This is great! WooHoo, we are baking for Easter....

[tiamat]

I THOUGHT you'd get a charge out of it!

[Krodg]

Another great recipe. Thanks. If you find any more like that, just ping.

[tiamat]

I'll do that!

[Who dat?]

Any chance of getting a recipe or two posted on FR?

Certainly. I’ll post some here after I dig out The Book. “The Book” was handwritten by my wife’s mom. I think she was trying to learn English at the time, so you sort of have to “guess” at certain things (and my knowledge of Greek is about nil), but I’ve seen it recently and can enter some recipes.

I think her cookbook is more of a “guidebook.” IOW, I think they deviate from the instructions whenever they take a notion, but it gives you an idea of what they’re doing.

I’ve actually used it with pretty good success.

I’ve been on a three week Vietnamese/Thai food binge… now you’ve got me thinking of switching over to my Greek food phase. Ha.

Here's a slightly differrent one, WITH a Syrup to drizzle over the top!

Old Scripture Cake



Contributed by Helen.  Thank-you!
The famous “OLD SCRIPTURE” cake.  If you know your Bible well, this will pose no problems.  If you don’t know it quite that well, the translation will be at the end of the recipe.

Blend into creamed mixture alternately with Judges 4. Beat whites of Isaiah 10 till stiff; fold in. Fold in chopped Genesis 43; Jeremiah 24; and 2 Samuel 16. Turn into 10-inch tube pan that has been greased and dusted with Leviticus 24.

Bake at 325 degrees F until it is golden brown or Gabriel blows his trumpet, whichever happens first. Bake for an hour and ten minutes. Remove from oven. After fifteen minutes, remove it from the pan. Cool completely. Drizzle over it some Burnt Jeremiah Syrup.
