Scripture Cake Recipe

~ Scripture Cake Recipe ~

Grandmother used to make the Scripture Cake every time a new preacher came to our house for the first time.

We would have a lot of fun talking about it at the table, and she always said it was a good way to find out whether the new preacher knew his Bible.

It will take you a little time to look up the key words. Some rainy day you might get both young and old members of the family to work together looking up the scriptures.
