No, this is not a religious forum. But the Bible Cake (aka Scripture Cake) recipe IS a valid recipe and is traditional in the Appalachian areas of Tennessee and North Carolina, and is usually made for funerals and wakes. The Bible verses are how it's traditionally written and passed along in communities and families -- it's both a show of reverence and a test of how well you knew the Bible.

My great-aunt Annie married into an Appalachian family. Her mother in law insisted on teaching her how to cook "proper", giving her a Scripture Cake recipe like this one as a family heirloom before Aunt Annie & her husband moved back here.
