You may prefer the Taste of Home or Cooks.com version of bishop's bread; neither contain buttermilk. This dessert is wonderful for those who like the taste of chocolate, nuts and cherries. Dark chocolate mixed with semi-sweet chips is what I prefer in this recipe. The taste deepens if loaf is aged a few days.

Very good. I made mini loaves and baked for about 40-50 minutes, and they were perfect. Very nice little bread. I didn't have walnuts, so I just left them out. Maybe next time I'd cut up the cherries; a little big in the bread. Bf liked it. Thanks!

One of my all-time favorite holiday breads! I use cherry craisins instead of the currants. I've had to give this recipe to every person who has tasted it...it's delicious. Sooooo NOT a pound cake!

So happy to find this recipe again - it has been around for years but forgotten by me. Because I do not like candied cherries I have substituted well drained maraschino or dried cranberries. Also have added 1 tbls. of cherry brandy. There are many possibilities with this bread and can be adapted to individual tastes without affecting the end result.

Excellent! My family loves apricots so I added 1/2c of finely chopped dried apricots.I always toast the nuts in the oven first. It adds an earthier flavor to all breads.Thanks for the delicious recipe.

I couldn't find currants at my grocery store, so I substituted plain raisins. Overall it was good, but the fruit and chocolate combination was a little odd. It also dries out VERY quickly, so wrap it securely when storing. I'm going to try it again, this time with just the cherries and golden raisins.

Basically a pound cake. Easy to make. I did not like it but my guests did.

Wow! This is a winner. Perfect for any holiday season. Instead of candied cherries I used dried cherries, and it was great! Also perfect for a church bake sale...(Bishop's Bread..ha, ha)!
