My colleague found a recipe for "Bible Cake" folded up in The Improved Housewife, from 1845. I wasn't able to copy down the whole recipe, but it was made from ingredients mentioned in various Bible verses, such as honey, flour, figs, raisins, and nuts -- a cute idea. No fatted lamb, though.
A google search shows many modern variations, if you want to make one yourself.
