Above is my trusty, very old Green and Gold Cookbook, twenty sixth edition, that my mum received when she was first married. It cost 10/6, which would have been 10 shillings and sixpence, and it was purchased from the Beck Book Co. Ltd, New and Secondhand Bookseller, 17-19 Pulteney Street, Adelaide. It is a little the worse for wear, but it has been used constantly for over half a century, and has some of the best tried and true recipes in it, one of which is: ~
Scripture Cake
- Four and a half cups 1 Kings, iv chapter, 22nd verse
- one and a half cups Judges, v chapter, 25th verse, last clause
- two cups Jeremiah, vi chapter, 20th verse
- two cups 1 Samuel, xxx chapter, 12th verse,
- one cup Numbers, xvii chapter, 8th verse
- half cup Judges iv chapter, 19th verse
- two tablespons 1 Samuel xiv chapter, 25th verse
- six eggs, Jeremiah xvii chapter, 11th verse
- two tablespoons Amos iv chapter, 5th verse
- pinch of salt Leviticus ii chapter, 13th verse
- spice to taste 1 Kings x chapter, 10th verse
Follow Solomon's rule for making a good boy, and you will have an excellent cake: Proverbs xxiii, chapter, verses 1 to 14.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you - it certainly is, and best of all, if you look up the verses, the cake is VERY doable! :)
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Jillian
Have you ever made it? Does it taste good?
Hi Jeanne,
No, I must admit that I haven't made it, but a very old friend from Tumby Bay has, and she said that it is great! :)
Have a great week,

Dear Jillian,
I have always loved this recipe ever since I saw it in Mrs Sharp's Traditions.
I keep meaning to try it as I believe it was a Special Sunday ritual.
I love the way you have to look up the ingredients.
Praying you have a Blessed and Merry Christmas (early I know but I am going to be a bit spasmodic till then)
God Bless

Hi Gae,
It is a beautiful recipe.
So are your Tim Tam Balls, and I have sent you an email thanking you, as I can't get your page to load under our current shape plan. *sigh*
I pray that you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.
Blessings,
Jillian
