BISHOP'S CAKE
I found this cake in an old Church Cookbook. It taste like an enticing concoction somewhere between a fruitcake and a chocolate chip cookie. I only made it once but it was very good.I hope you like it.!!!!!!!!!

AUNT ISABEL'S BISHOP'S CAKE
This is a very old recipe, that my Aunt Isabel (born 1900) used to make every year at Christmas. She made it for as long as I can remember. I was told it was a Methodist tradition. It is a dense, somewhat dry fruitcake, with chocolate bits in it. It is supposed to be sliced very thin. Well... I updated the recipe. I put the ingredients in order and gave better directions. The first time I made it, I was not doing it very smoothly, in fact, it was a disaster! The second time, I actually knew what to do, so here is what I've learned, and I also posted pictures.

Steps:
- Chop the dates, pecans, and cherries and set aside in individual prep bowls.
- Dust dates lightly with about 1 teasp. flour or less.
- Combine eggs and butter.
- Sift together dry ingredients and add to egg mixture.
- Stir in other ingredients one at a time, first the dates, then pecans, then cherries, and last the chocolate chips.
- Make sure to stir thoroughly after each addition.
- Pour into greased loaf pan, I used Pam and then lined with parchment paper.
- Bake 325 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. (I baked it for 1 3/4 hours).
- Let it rest and cool! The first time I tried to take it out of the pan -- I cannot begin to tell you of the mess I made. Then I decided it was not done, as I had only baked it 1 1/4 hours, so I tried to stuff it pack into the pan. That was not easy, but I did it, baked it another hour, and pried it out after letting it cool. It was ugly all the way around, but very good! So good that I am making lots more for sharing.

AUNT IDA'S PASSOVER SPONGE CAKE
Credit is given to Sandra Levine for her Aunt Ida's Sponge Cake. I came across this recipe that was posted on another site in March 2002 and it received great reviews. This cake is said to be good enough to be enjoyed all year long and I can hardly wait to bake it for seder #1. Now it can be said - since I made this cake for the 1st seder, I would not hesitate to make it again. The cake had a great light texture and tasted great; it was MOIST, it rose up quite high and everyone raved about it. Next time I make this, I will cut out and add a piece of parchment paper on the bottom of the pan, since it did stick ever so slightly. And also very important if you are making an additional 8" or 9" cake, only bake it for 25-30 minutes.
