As a favor for the evening, our guests received a package of the spices used in the cake along with the recipe and the Bible verses listed.
A good hearty spice cake that includes raisins, figs and almonds, many of the attendees remembered it as something their grandmother used to make.Although this recipe says to bake it in a loaf pan, there was entirely too much batter. It fit perfectly in a Bundt pan.
And if you are interested in the original Biblical references, they are listed here. (Click on the photo to enlarge it.)

That is wonderful! I lost my recipe in a move. I am sharing on my Facebook page Antiques And Teacups.

This cake sounds terrific (and I like all the ingredients). Love that you gave guests the recipe, packet of spices, and Bible references! Now how can I use this at church sometime ... hmm ...
I have heard of this cake for years. It does sound good and it takes figs. Ha!
Looove this idea! The cake is wonderful and looks yummy ♥
I've heard of this cake but never seen the recipe - the figs might be a problem for me but I know Marilyn Miller grows scads of them and could use them if she decided to bake it.
A great theme for one of your teas Nancy.
