[What about the books in the Apocrypha?] There are no marks in these books which would attest a divine origin…both Judith and Tobit contain historical, chronological and geographical errors. The books justify falsehood and deception and make salvation to depend upon works of merit… Ecclesiasticus and the Wisdom of Solomon inculcate a morality based upon expediency. Wisdom teaches the creation of the world out of pre-existent matter (Wisd. 11.17). Ecclesiasticus teaches that the giving of alms makes atonement for sin (Ecc. 3.30). In Baruch it is said that God hears the prayers of the dead (Bar. 3.4), and in I Maccabees there are historical and geographical errors.

CUPCAKES
FILLING
Preheat the oven to 350. Cream the butter and sugar in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour with the baking soda and salt. Slowly
add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, alternating with 1/2 c. of
the milk. Stir in the beaten eggs.
In a medium saucepan, combine the chocolate and the remaining milk. Stir
over low heat until the chocolate melts. Cool slightly, then add to the
batter. Mix well. Stir in the vanilla and lemon flavoring.
Pour the batter into greased muffin tins, filling the cups about 2/3 full.
Bake for 25 minutes. Remove the cupcakes from the pan and cool on a wire
rack.
Toss the raspberries with the sugar, coating evenly. Cut the tops off the
cooled cupcakes. Set aside. Carefully scoop out a little of the interior of
each cake. Fill the cavity with sugared raspberries and a little whipped
cream. Add the cake top and ice, if desired, at this point or just garnish
with whipped cream and a few raspberries.
NOTE: The picture shows the cupcakes topped with whipped cream and
raspberries, not iced.
