Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400ðF (200ðC). Lightly butter a 2-quart casserole dish.
  2. Place torn French bread pieces into the prepared casserole dish.
  3. In a large mixer bowl, beat softened butter and sugar until well blended and creamy.
  4. Add evaporated milk, eggs, cocoa, vanilla extract, salt, and cream of tartar to the butter-sugar mixture.
  5. Beat on low speed until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and smooth.
  6. Stir in golden raisins and 1/2 cup of chopped pecans into the custard mixture.
  7. Pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread in the casserole dish, ensuring all bread pieces are covered.
  8. Sprinkle coarsely chopped pecans over the top if desired.
  9. Bake for 45 to 50 minutes, or until the top is browned and the center is set.
  10. If the top browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking.
  11. Serve warm with light cream or vanilla ice cream.
