Zubereitung von Aunt Isabel's Bishop's Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
  2. Chop 1 cup pitted dates, 1 cup pecan halves, and 1 cup dried cherries. Set aside in separate bowls.
  3. Lightly dust the chopped dates with 1 teaspoon of flour.
  4. In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened unsalted butter and 2 large eggs until light and fluffy.
  5. In a separate bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
  7. Stir in the dates, pecans, and cherries, one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition.
  8. Finally, stir in 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  9. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
  10. Bake for 90-105 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Start checking at 90 minutes).
