Garbage Cake image

Garbage, not because it's rotten but because you can just dump all the ingredients in a large bowl and mix away. I also like to call this "church lady potluck cake" because there always seems to be a cake like this at church potlucks. I sometimes substitute raisins for the dates and pecans for the walnuts. Very flexible recipe from the Norske Nook cookbook.

This cake was a bit too dry. I think I'll try adding some more milk or buttermilk next time.

The cake is a bit dense, which I like, but it might be too heavy for some people.
