One of my cousins served this at our annual family reunion many years ago, and she was swamped with recipe requests. One taste will tell you why!

this is very tasty, and so easy. the only thing negative i might mention is that its supper rich and and i would suggest serving with a nice cold glass of milk or as i did vanilla ice cream. also i used semi sweet mini chips insted and they worked great although i might try it with milk chocolate ones next time so its not nearly as rich.

I have had this recipe for a long time. I chop the nuts and add them at the same time as the chocolate chips. I have also frosted with Chocolate Ganache.

Yummy cake! Mine didn't look as pretty as the picture shown (maybe we were too anxious to eat it).
