My mother has been placing the batter in cupcake tins for years. It cooks faster and is perfectly portioned.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-69595420751784405852007-12-17T07:37:00.000-08:002007-12-17T07:37:00.000-08:00I still have one loaf left. I think I'll keep it hidden in the refrigerator until awhile after Christmas. I'm already on food overload with the parties, dinners, etc. we've been going to. But I agree, it's good stuff!Carolyn Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437597710964939017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-54773697173903890272007-12-16T18:31:00.000-08:002007-12-16T18:31:00.000-08:00This is a great recipe. I served it recently and got rave reviews. It looks so pretty thinly sliced on a Christmassy plate. If you have any left overs, it stays moist for quite awhile. So make sure to save some for yourself!!Book Group Friendnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-88971244318207477972007-12-05T11:37:00.000-08:002007-12-05T11:37:00.000-08:00This bread is the best!!! I am so lucky to be a recipient of the few loaves my mom makes, I wish I had taken two loaves. This is the best. I don't like fruitcake either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-12220051161899686912007-12-03T17:45:00.000-08:002007-12-03T17:45:00.000-08:00Hmmm. I don't know about the trifle idea. If you can picture using a dense kind of bread (well, like date nut bread, for instance), that kind of heaviness, then it might work. If you sliced the bishop's bread quite thin it might work. And I wouldn't make the vanilla pudding/sauce all that sweet - under sweeten it, I'd think. You could always add more sugar later if you took a taste of the bread with the pudding. And some whipped cream to cut the richness? Just a thought.Carolyn Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01437597710964939017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7220568104288865795.post-85285398922338550992007-12-03T17:18:00.000-08:002007-12-03T17:18:00.000-08:00I cannot get over this recipe...it sounds like the perfect dessert for Christmas. It also seems versatile and I am seriously wondering how this would be in a simple trifle - layered with some vanilla pudding in a trifle bowl and then topped with chocolate shavings. Or would this pair better with ice cream? Thoughts? I am scheduled to make a trifle for Christmas day and want to break away from my usual...would this work?ThursdayNexthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07838415125991375824noreply@blogger.com
