This cake was simple and light in flavor. Texture light as well. Not overwhelmingly sweet, but not bland. The topping adds a crunchy texture and sweetness I wouldn't skip. Great for anyone who is craving a cake but doesn't want a frosted sugar-rush dense birthday cake. Next time, I might add a teaspoon of vanilla, or maybe a tablespoon of coffee? Maybe another tablespoon of cocoa? I feel like the flavor is very close, but not quite perfect. Overall, very good. I made one substitution worth noting: instead of 1/2 c butter, I used 1/4 c butter plus 3/4 c ground flax seed. Worked well with no texture issues. (I have substituted ground flax seeds for 1/2 the butter in brownie recipes- at a 3 to 1 ratio- with only a change in texture.) I used a 9x13 pan and baked for about 28 min.

This was so moist and delicious. I followed the recipe, except no walnuts due to allergy issues. I did add some extra chocolate chips to the top to make up for the lack of walnuts, and baked in a 9X13 pan, as I don't have a jellyroll pan. This will become a regular in my house.

Yummy!! A really good cake. I mixed the chocolate chips in and used a 9x13 and baked it about 30 min. Turned out great, will be making this again. Thanks

The consistency was more bread-like than cake-like. Otherwise, good flavors. It's not super sweet despite the 2 cups of sugar... don't know if that's a good or bad thing. Hmm.

I cut the recipe in half and baked it in an 8-inch pan. I did not have any walnuts, so I used sliced almonds. It was delicious! This one is a keeper and so simple to make.

The cake came out very well! I added some walnuts in the cake. I would have liked some more sweetness inside the cake, but it was still good. Next time I may add some chocolate chips inside the cake too.

Very easy to make and cake was VERY moist. Personally I think the cake needs a little more flavor, a little Pizazz. Topping was my favorite part.

Awesom! Followed recipe. Then I tweaked just a tab. The nuts and chocolate chips were added in the mixture and on top. Added 1/2 teaspoon cinamon! Baked it in 9" x 13" pan. I am getting ready to bake this again. I have baked it several times, but it always seems to leave! Thanks for sharing!

Loved it! I was actually looking for an Almond Oatmal cake, so I added a couple tsps of almond extract. Instead of placing the nuts and chocolate chips on top, I mixed them right in, and I used almonds instead of walnuts. Oh ya, I cooked this in a bundt pan, which worked great.

Quick and easy recipe. Took it to church fellowship and it wasn't the first thing people grabbed. If I make it again, I'll add equal amounts of cinnamon and cocoa.

I got this recipe from a relative that had it from 1982 at least and never knew where she got it. We always put it in a 9 x 13 pan, one summer day I made it in a bit smaller pan, and was told it was better than sex, on kidding, was it the heat that day??? You tell me, but we have always loved this recipe, bland? no way, sweet, nutty and just great :)

While this recipe did indeed make a large, moist cake, we all found it bland. The kids were quick to pick the chocolate chips off the top and leave the cake in the pan.

This isn't so much a cake but rather a sort of chewy bar. It wasn't well received at our camping retreat, and I don't think that I will be making this again.

This has long been a family favorite. It is best served warm and with vanilla ice cream. A great treat for those who do not like frosting. I had lost this recipe and it is wonderful to find. Thanks for posting.
