Cómo preparar 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).
  11. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before attempting to remove it. This prevents crumbling!
  12. Once completely cool, carefully remove the cake from the pan using the parchment paper.
