CHOCOLATE CHIP DATE NUT CAKE

This was my favorite birthday cake growing up as a young boy. Everytime my Grandma Laura would come to visit us in Taos, NM, she'd pick one up from Dory's Bakery and bring it over. I was able to get ahold of Dory long after she'd sold the place and surprisingly she still remembered me and my mother, Joan, who was her friend. She gladly gave me the recipe although the measurements were obviously for multiple cakes, I quartered it and came up with the right increments for just one really large one or a couple regular ones. This cake doesn't include frosting but was sprinkled with powdered sugar and served. Believe me when I tell you the frosting is not missed! This coming from a former little boy with a hell of a sweet tooth!

CHOCOLATE CHIP & NUT CAKE



Chocolate Chip & Nut Cake image

You know how we all love those choccy chip nut cookies? Well, imagine that idea in a CAKE! Hmmmmmmmmmmm......I DO love cake, and this one in particular as you can vary the amount of chocolate or nuts, or even the type of nuts - go on - make your OWN version of this recipe. It's also rather unusual as it uses the 'rubbed in' method more usually associated with pastries. As written, this is a lovely 'English Tea Loaf' - you know, slice thin and serve with afternoon tea; but add more chocolate and nuts and it becomes an 'afternoon delight' that you'd be lucky to divide into 8 servings!

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 cake, 16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 ounces self-raising flour
4 ounces butter or 4 ounces margarine
5 ounces caster sugar
3 -4 ounces chocolate chips
3 -4 ounces chopped nuts (walnut and plain choc chips work particularly well)
1 egg
5 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Sieve flour into bowl.
  • Rub in fat until mixture resembles breadcrumbs.
  • Add sugar, choc chips, nuts, egg and enough milk to make a sticky consistency.
  • Pour into a loaf tin and bake.
  • Cooking time: 60 - 75 minutes.
  • Oven Temp: Gas 4 (325-350F / 160-180C).

Tips:

  • Use softened butter: This will help to ensure that the cake is light and fluffy.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will help to incorporate air into the batter and give the cake a tender crumb.
  • Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition: This will help to prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients gradually: This will help to prevent the batter from becoming lumpy.
  • Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
  • Bake the cake at the correct temperature and for the correct amount of time: Underbaking or overbaking can result in a dry or dense cake.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.

Conclusion:

Chocolate chip nut cake is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist, tender crumb and plenty of chocolate chips and nuts, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you're looking for a special treat, give this chocolate chip nut cake a try. You won't be disappointed.
