Hi all,
In the family cook book there was a recipe for picnic cake by Pat Nelson that I took out and can't find. It has dates and chocolate chips and is really good. We want to make it--would someone find it for me and post it? Gracias.
Oh, and a few minutes ago, I think I posted some comments under Wade's name, as he was signed in to google a few minutes ago! Sorry! It really was me, avoiding loading up the last of the dishes before going to sleep!

I'll give my mom a call and either have her post it or I will get it from her and post it.
Hey, Thanks!
Here is the recipe for the Picnic Cake. It is a recipe of an old neighbor who lived across the street when we first moved to Idaho.
Picnic Cake
Mix in bowl and let cool.
1 cup dates (I have also used raisins)
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups boiling water
Mix in together:
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup shortening
1/2 tsp. salt
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
Add egg mixture to dates
add:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
Put in 9X13 cake pan and cover with 1 cup brown sugar, 6 ounces package of chocolate chips and 1/2 nuts. Bake at 350 for 45 mins.
Thanks, Aunt Pat!
