Test your baking skills with this intriguing Bishop's Bread, a European-style fruit and nut loaf perfect for special occasions. This elegant creation combines almonds, raisins, and chocolate with a delicately sweet batter for a sophisticated teatime treat. The unusual baking method—a slow, low-temperature bake—creates a uniquely dense yet tender texture. Finished with a dusting of confectioner's sugar, it's as beautiful as it is delicious.
We don't need that stupid "Jump to the Recipe" BS!
Ingredients
5 eggs, separated
1/4 tsp. salt
1-1/4 cups sugar
6 oz. blanched, slivered almonds
1 cup seedless raisins
1/2 cup mixed fruit peel or citron

Directions

Add almonds, raisins, peel and chocolate and fold in the egg whites, stiffly beaten. Fold in the flour. Turn mixture into a greased spring-form pan or loaf pan and bake in a 250 degree oven for 2 hours, or until loaf tests done. Remove from pan to cool on cake rack. Serve sprinkled with confectioner's sugar.
