CHOC CHIP DATE NUT CAKE
This is an easy home made cake with a delicious crunchy topping on a super moist cake! It is not super sweet but rather you taste the cocoa. People tend to put to much of the toppings on, big mistake stick to the recipe amounts! Dates are some times hard to find, so I order my chopped dates on line in 8oz pks. Dromedary are my favorite, but Sun Maid , or Dole are good too.Enjoy!

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!

Tips:
- Use room temperature butter: This will help the butter cream together with the sugar more easily, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cake.
- Don't overbeat the batter: Overbeating the batter can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Use chopped dates: Chopped dates will distribute more evenly throughout the cake and provide a more intense date flavor.
- Don't skip the nuts: Nuts add a nice crunch and texture to the cake. You can use any type of nuts you like, but walnuts or pecans are a classic choice.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
