2 c. figs (1 Samuel 30:12)
1 c. water (Genesis 24:17)

Directions:

Father Solomon's advice for making good boys (Proverbs 23:13)
(For those among our listeners who don't have a Bible handy, Proverbs 23:13
reads: "Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with
the rod, he shall not die." Scripture Cake, apparently, was meant to be well
beaten.)
It's typical of recipes from earlier days that they assumed general
knowledge on the part of the reader -- for example, how long to bake a cake.
Try baking the scripture cake in a 350-degree oven until a knife or a toothpick
inserted in the center comes out clean.
