My kids call this throw-up cake because of the way the dates look in the water with soda. It's one of our favorites - easy to make and soooo good!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup dates, chopped
1 1/2 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup butter or 3/4 cup margarine
1 (5 1/8 ounce) package vanilla pudding mix
3 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups all-purpose gluten-free flour (i like tom sawyer brand)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup chopped nuts
0.5 (11 1/2 ounce) package chocolate chips
Directions:
1. Mix together dates, water and soda. Set aside to cool.
2. In separate bowl, cream together sugar and butter. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well.
3. Add pudding mix. Beat well.
4. Sift together flour, cinnamon and salt.
5. Add alternately with date mixture, mixing well after each addition.
6. Pour into greased 9x13 pan.
7. In small separate bowl, mix together brown sugar, nuts, and chocolate chips.
8. Sprinkle mixture on top of the batter in the pan.
