Scripture Cake Recipe

Happy New Year! this is a recipe that is very old. No one really knows for sure where it came from. It’s a celebration cake.

Scripture Cake Recipe
With Interpretation of Scripture Cake
1/2 cup Judges 5:25, last clause
Jeremiah 6:20
2 T. I Samuel 14:25
6 Jeremiah 17:11
1 1/2 cups 1 Kings 4:22
2 teaspoons Amos 4:5
II Chronicles 9:9, to taste
Pinch of Leviticus, 2:13
1/2 cup Judges 4:19, last clause
2 cups Nahum 3:12
2 cups Numbers 17:8
2 cups I Samuel 30:12

Whip the Judges, Jeremiah and I Samuel until light. Beat the 6 Jeremiah yolks and add to mixture. Add Kings, Amos, Chronicles and Leviticus, alternately with judges. Fold in Nahum, Numbers and Samuel, then also the Jeremiah whites, beaten stiff. Bake 2 hours in a greased 10″ tube pan at 300 degrees.

Interpretation of Scripture Cake
1/2 cup butter
2 cups sugar
2 teaspoons honey
6 egg yolks
1 1/2 cups flour, sifted
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon cloves
pinch of salt
1/2 cup of milk
2 cups figs, chopped
2 cups raisins
2 cups almonds
6 egg whites, beaten stiff

Beat together the butter, sugar and honey. Beat the egg yolks and add sifted flour, baking powder, spices and salt. Alternately with milk. Stir in the figs, raisins, and almonds. Fold in the 6 egg whites which have been beaten stiff. Bake the cake in a well greased 10″ tube pan. Lining the pan with greased brown paper, may provide extra protection. I have used waxed paper and that works fine too.
Bake at 300 degrees for 2 hours.

Christmas & Holidays With the Red Velvet Chinese Crystal Necklace Set By Krystal Kat’s

Posted under Chinese Crystal, Christmas, Crystal Bracelet, Earrings, Krystal Kat's Jewelry & Suncatchers, Uncategorized, Valentine Jewelry, www.krystalkats.com 1 Comment

Let me tell you a little story about this
gorgeous red velvet beaded bead necklace set. First off I was contacted by

Aunties Beading Supplies out of Texas, they offered me a deal I couldn’t
pass up…………. being a bead lover and designer. The offer was for me to
design some jewelry using their beads and post it here in my blog. So here is
the finished product.

Inspired by the thrill of the holiday season and Christmas’s gone by, these Beaded Beads reminded me of the necklaces my mom wore when I was a child. I love the red and think this necklace is elegant, yet stylish enough to be worn with your everyday holiday attire. I like it with red, but my husband thinks it would look great with beige or cream, but I think it will look wonderful with white or black also. Give it as a gift or keep it for yourself for the holidays! It’s a one of kind creation. Also would look wonderful worn for Valentine’s Day or the month of February too!

Perhaps you would enjoy seeing a few photos first or even see it worn? below find the photos and more about what kind of beads I used. But first here is a link to me wearing the necklace myself with earrings.

Red Velvet Necklace Set

The red velvet necklace set above is made with Chinese Crystal which is pretty new to me, because I normally always use Swarovki Cyrstals, these Chinese Crystals are beautiful though. I used a couple of Swarovski Crystals too that happened to be the exact color of these Chinese Crystals in the necklace as well.
Last year in the fall I made some beaded beads using Swarovski Crystals with a RAW. They were fun to make and I
sold the bracelet right away that I made with them.
Here is a photo of the beads. I used Swarovski Crystals in different colored beads to make a Psalms 23 Bracelet with them.
