Bible Cake

I haven't made this myself but I know both of my grandmothers used to for any special occassion.
I've been wanting to try this one of these days but never have had the time yet.
Let me know if any of you try it and how it turns out.
One last thing,I'm not really sure what the exact mixing directions are or what spices are used so let me know what you try and how it turns out,please.
This recipe is from an old church cookbook.

cool

Neat. Thanks for sharing.

Haha, clever! What kind of cake does it make (as in flavor)?

I am printing it out to try.
Thanks so much and God Bless You.

I never heard of this. I would assume that you would cream your sugar, eggs and butter in one bowl with a mixer. Then add your dry ingredients in another bowl. That would be flour, baking powder, salt and spices (but you don't say what spices). Mix the milk and honey in a cup. Slowly add some of dry ingredients to the creamed mix, then add some of the honey/milk mix. Alternate this until mixed. Then manually stir in the figs, raisins and almonds. Sounds heavy. And it doesn't say if you put this in loaf pans or what. I would assume cinnamon as the spice since there are raisins.

Sounds good, but, I would not try it. That would be costly without more info.

Thanks for commenting on this.
I wish I knew what spices but I have no idea,it doesn't ,emtion specifically which spices are used,I looked up this verse in my Bible,it says,Taking Jesus' body,the tow of them wrapped it with the spices,in strips of linen.this was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.
The verse above talks about Myrrh and Aloes,I don't think either one of these would be very tasty in a cake.
I don't know what type of pan to bake it in,or what flavor it should be.
It seems as though it might be along the lines of a fruitcake because it has raisins and figs and almonds.
I wish both my Grandmothers were still able to tell me the answers to these questions,one just passed away in March and the other won't live very much longer once the feeding tube is removed later this month or the early part of June.She's not coherent enough to be able to help me.
