Bishops Bread

This is a christmas tradition in my family. My mom got the recipe out of a church cookbook in the 50's. I usually make 3 loafs at a time. It is wonderful! Even those who hate fruitcake love this!

Steps

Preheat oven to 325.

Grease well a bread / loaf pan.

If not the non-stick kind , line the bottom only with 3 layers of waxed paper and then grease.

Into bowl mix flour , baking powder , and salt.

Then stir in chocolate chips , walnuts , dates and cherries until well coated with flour.

In large bowl , beat the eggs well.

Then gradually beat in sugar.

Fold in the flour mixture and mix well and pour into greased pan.

Bake 1 1 / 2 hours or until cake tester come out clean.

Cool in pan.

Wrap in foil when removed from pan and store at room temp.

This is much better the next day !.
