How to Make Biblical Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round baking tin.
  2. Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
  4. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup raisins, 1 cup currants, ½ cup chopped candied citron, ½ cup chopped candied orange peel, ½ cup chopped pecans, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, and ½ teaspoon salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Gently fold in the fruit.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared tin and bake for 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the cake cool in the tin for 30 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
