I got a recipe for Bible Cake from Helena as a Christmas gift. This just cracks me up...

200 g                              Genesis 18:8

3 3/4 dl                           Proverbs 9:17

3                                     Jeremiah 17:11

2 teaspoons                Amos 4:5

5 dl                                Leviticus 24.5

1/2 teaspoons            2 Kings 2:20

1 teaspoon                  Song of Songs 4:14

2 dl                                Judges 4:19

1 dl                                Numbers 17:8 crushed

1 dl                                Nahum 3:12 chopped

1 dl                                2 Samuel 16:1

First grease a 1,8 liter cake tin and flour it with for example coconut flakes or rye flour.

Whip Genesis 18 and Proverbs 9 into a foam (?). Add Jeremiah 17 one at a time continuously whipping. Mix Amos 4, Leviticus 24, 2 Kings 2 and Song of Songs 4 together and sieve (?) them into the dough. Add Judges 4 and Numbers 17, Nahum 3 and 2 Kings 16 into the mix. Stir the dough evenly and pour into the floured cake tin. Bake in 175 degrees (Celsius) for a little more than an hour. Turn over when cooled down.

Time: over 60 minutes

Serves: 20

 

 

It's all fun and games cooking with your bible but it makes it rather hard that some of the verses have several things in them. You might end up making a rather silly cake... For example I do hope they mean eggs instead of partridges in Jeremiah 17:11 (As the partridge  that sitteth on eggs which she hath not laid, so is he that getteth riches, and not by right; in the midst of his days they shall leave him, and at his end he shall be a fool.) and raisins instead of donkeys in 2 Samuel 16:1 (And when David was a little past the top of the ascent , behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him, with a couple of asses saddled, and upon them two hundred loaves of bread, and a hundred clusters of raisins, and a hundred of summer fruits, and a bottle of wine.) since I am a vegetarian. It could be a bottle of wine too?
