• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1 Kings 10:10
• 1 teaspoon ground mace, 1 Kings 10:10
• 1 teaspoon ground cloves, 1 Kings 10:10
• 0.5 teaspoon salt, Leviticus 2:13

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13 inch baking pan. Gather all of your ingredients to begin preparing your Scripture Cake.
2. In a mixing bowl, cream together softened butter, sugar, cinnamon, mace, cloves, and salt until light and fluffy. Separate the eggs. Lightly beat the yolks in a separate small bowl, then add them to the butter mixture. Sift in flour and baking powder. Add water and honey, then mix until well combined.
3. In a food processor, pulse figs, raisins, almonds, and a pinch of flour until coarsely chopped. Gently fold this dried fruit mixture into the cake batter.
4. In a clean glass, metal, or ceramic bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the cake batter.
5. Pour the prepared batter evenly into the greased baking pan.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely in the pan before slicing.
7. Serve the Scripture Cake plain or dust lightly with powdered sugar for an added touch of sweetness.
