Love this easy, wonderfully moist cake and it is pretty healthy too, with relatively low fat. I substituted Splenda for 1/3 of the sugar and used one-half whole-wheat flour. I mixed the chips in the batter, but wish I had not as they sunk to the bottom. Next time I will sprinkle them on top, and there will be a next time cause it is a yummy little snack.

This is VERY similar to a recipe I've been making for years. Only change is using 2 cups chocolate chips instead of one cup of chips and one cup of walnuts. It is then baked in a 9x13 pan at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes. I also often use old-fashioned oats for added texture. I especially like using this recipe when taking to potlucks or school events where frosting would be messy.

I have made this recipe since I was 12 years old. Over 36 years! Every time I make it, it's a hit! I have always added half the bag of chips to the batter and sprinkled the rest on top with the nuts. It stays moist for several days.

Good recipe. I put the chocolate chips in the cake and used 3 tablespoons of cocoa, other than that I followed the recipe exactly. Very Moist cake.

This was a nice healthier alternative to your traditional cake. Others sensed the presence of "something" which happened to be the oatmeal. My kids at the chocolate chips on top and left the rest.

Delicious. I used pecans since I don't like walnuts and threw in about a cup of coconut just because. It was wonderful-couldn't stop eating it!

Meh...the only thing I didn't add was the cocoa powder (didn't have any) and walnuts (don't like them). Moist, yes...but the flavor...it felt like something was missing...
