Bishop'S Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 eggs, well beaten
1 c. sugar
1 1/2 c. sifted flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 lb. chocolate drops
2 c. coarsely chopped black walnuts
1 c. coarsely cut up dates
1 c. candied cherries, halved

Preparation

Combine eggs and sugar; beat well.
Sift dry ingredients together.
Add nuts, dates and cherries.
Fold into egg mixture being sure it is mixed well so there are no dry spots.
Pour into a loaf pan that has been greased and lined with waxed paper.
Bake about 1 1/2 hours in 325\u00b0 oven.
Cool on rack before turning out. Keep tightly wrapped as it dries out rather quickly.
A dip of vanilla ice cream enhances the taste.
