Chocolate Chip Date Cake is a recipe given to me by my mother-in-law. Because it lacks icing, it is not overly sweet. But it is delicious! (I did make a few changes to adjust to altitude, etc.)
1 cup sugar
2 beaten eggs
1/2 cup Crisco
1 tsp. vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour*
1/2 tsp. baking soda*
1/4 tsp salt*
*dry ingredients
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped pecans
sugar (about 1 TBS)
