They were particularly popular in Missouri, Vermont and New Hampshire. Sometimes also called Bible Cakes. I have a Scripture Cake recipe too, but it's different from yours (with figs and raisins too). It's an even bigger cake with more than 12 cups of ingredients. I'll have to post it sometime! I'm grabbing your recipe.<br /><br />Nahum is a small book, only 3 small chapters in Old Testament which is why most people don't remember it.Joy @ Joy Of Dessertshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02623449713999231504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568891529398637135.post-65528777485427563712009-04-17T09:36:00.000-07:002009-04-17T09:36:00.000-07:00Ahhh - thanks for the site Nate-n-Annie!
