Bishop's bread (Fruit loaf)

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Cakes and Desserts
Bishop's Bread is the 'upgraded' sponge cake: a rich, buttery batter dense enough to hold plenty of dried fruit and chocolate. The secret lies in separating the eggs and carefully folding in the whipped egg whites, which lightens the heavy dough with air bubbles.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Loaf tin or deer back tin (Rehrücken)
  • Electric whisk
  • Mixing bowls

Allergen Information

⚠️ Gluten
⚠️ Eggs
⚠️ Milk
⚠️ Nuts (Walnut)
⚠️ Sulphur dioxide (often in dried fruit)

Instructions

1 ✓

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and flour the tin.

Tip: Thorough preparation is half the battle, otherwise the cake will stick to the ridges.
2 ✓

Cream the soft butter with half the sugar and the egg yolks until fluffy.

Tip: Creaming introduces air into the fat, which provides the structure of the cake.
3 ✓

Add the milk, then fold in the flour mixed with baking powder.

Tip: Do not overmix at this stage, just until combined.
4 ✓

Whisk the egg whites with the pinch of salt and the remaining sugar until stiff peaks form.

Tip: Sugar stabilizes the foam so it doesn't collapse easily during baking.
5 ✓

Toss the chopped fruits/nuts in a little flour, then fold into the batter.

Tip: The flour coating prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the tin.
6 ✓

Finally, gently fold the egg white foam into the mixture using large movements.

Tip: Do not break the foam, or you will lose the air bubbles!
7 ✓

Pour into the tin and bake for 45-50 minutes (skewer test!).

Tip: If batter sticks to the skewer, bake longer. If just crumbs, it's ready.

Recipe FAQ

Why does the fruit sink to the bottom?
Because the batter is too thin or the surface of the fruit is slippery. Toss them in flour before mixing in; this provides 'grip' within the batter.
