Hokey Pokey Cake

1/2 cup chopped nuts or candy pieces

My mom used to make this cake when I was a kid.  It was always a big hit back then and it still is today.  Take this yummy cake to a potluck and you are sure to receive lots of complements. 

My new cookbook will soon be available at schools, businesses, hospitals, and book fairs in cities across the United States.  Be sure to pick up a copy or two, when you see them.  They make great gifts!
