CHOCOLATE CHIP DATE NUT CAKE image

This is an old recipe that I can remember showing up at every picnic! As a kid I never appreciated this cake. I wanted gobs of sweet frosting on a cake! Now I love this cake and will make it for Jim and I when we go fishing or just because we like it!

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 c dates, chopped
1 tsp baking soda
1 c boiling water
1 c shortening
1 c sugar
2 eggs
1 3/4 c flour
1 heaping Tbsp cocoa powder
1 tsp salt
sprinkle on top:
chocolate chips
chopped nuts
brown sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease and flour a 13x9 inch cake pan.
  • 2. Combine dates, baking soda and boiling water. Let cool.
  • 3. Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat until fluffy.
  • 4. Stir in cocoa, flour and salt. Mix in cooled date mixture.
  • 5. Pour into prepared pan. Sprinkle with nuts, chocolate chips and brown sugar.
  • 6. We never measured the topping mixture. I always liked more on top than my mother did. Use about 1/3 brown sugar, 1/3 cup chocolate chips (semi sweet or milk chocolate), 1/3 cup nuts. If you feel you want more on top ~ go for it!
  • 7. Bake for 40 minutes. Let cool.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
