This moist and chocolatey cake went fast! Who would have thought it had dates in it??? Nobody at my house! Great way to disguise them. It was very easy to put together...just make sure you plan ahead and fix the dates before you need them...someone didn't read the directions very well so we had this for dessert with our lunch today instead of our dinner last night. Uh, yep, that would be me. Oh well...it's still good!
