Beaver island dessert (date walnut and chocolate chip cake)

Cakes
recipe

Hail to Michigan for this recipe! This cake is unabashedly sweet without being one-note, but I modernized the flavor profile with a few tweaks to the topping. I think that slightly bitter black walnuts, a touch more salt, and dark, dark chocolate really make this classic sing. The end result is a moist cake offset by a crisped sugar, chocolate, and walnut topping reminiscent of a remixed chocolate chip cookie. Family lore states that this dessert was invented at the Beaver Island Lodge, located of the tip of the mitten in Lake Michigan.
