    List of Ingredients




    Nut and Date Cake


    1 1/2 c Butter
    4 c Sugar
    1 qt Pecan halves
    1 qt Dates, chopped
    3 c Flour
    Eggs, as needed (5-7)
    2 tb Vanilla extract

    Recipe




    Prepare a large tube pan; line the bottom with brown paper and grease the pan and lining.
    Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

    Cut butter and sugar together until it resembles cornmeal.

    Place the pecans and dates in a large bowl and cover with the flour; rub together so all pieces are well-floured.

    Dump sugar and butter over top; mix well. Break in eggs (fewest possible) until you have the a wet mass, but not a batter. Add vanilla extract, and pour into prepared cake pan.

    Bake about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until cake tests done.
