Dolley Madison's "Scripture Cake."

     James Madison's wife, Dolley Madison, was purportedly the most vivacious hostess the White House has ever known. She and her husband, James Madison, were profound
Christians, attending "The Church of the Presidents" on Lafayette Square. Dolley's "Scripture Cake" recipe was written, she said, so that family and friends would read the Bible and come to a saving knowledge of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
