Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almonds (Genesis 43:11)
- 1 cup Honey (Exodus 3:8)
- 2.5 cups Flour (1 Kings 17:12)
- 1 cup Milk (Exodus 3:8)
- 0.5 cup Olive oil (Deuteronomy 8:8)
- 4 Eggs (Job 6:6)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt (Leviticus 2:13)
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Song of Solomon 4:14)
- 1 cup Raisins (1 Samuel 30:12)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round or square cake pan with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, olive oil, and milk until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the bowl of dry ingredients, stirring gently until no lumps remain.
Fold in the almonds and raisins to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cool, slice and serve this meaningful cake, rich with Biblical references and wholesome flavors.
