Dolley Madison's Famous Scripture Cake

 Dolley Madison remains one of the best loved among the First Ladies of the White House. Dolley had it all – social graces, intelligence, beauty – and she was quite a cook, too!

 In the 1809, Dolley was First Lady and Queen of Cooks. Though recipes freely abound in today’s world, in the good old days they were as guarded as the family jewels. After repeated requests for this cake recipe, Dolley relented in an ingenious manner.

Dolley was a very religious lady, so in order to make her cake, she made it necessary for one to read the Bible to gather the ingredients. Here is Dolley’s rather famous ‘Scripture Cake’ recipe – it’s like a taste of heaven!
