CHOCOLATE CHIP DATE NUT CAKE



Chocolate Chip Date Nut Cake image

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 high-quality chocolate chips. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your cake. Look for chocolate chips that are made with real chocolate and that have a high cocoa content.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature. The ideal temperature for baking this cake is 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If you bake the cake at a higher temperature, it will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This chocolate chip nut cake is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is moist and fluffy, with a rich chocolate flavor and a crunchy nut topping. This cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
