I've never heard of a date cake before. Grandma never made this for me. I wonder how it tastes? I guess there's one way to find out.

Date Cake

1/2 cup butter

1 cup milk

1 cup chopped figs

3/4 cup walnuts

2 cups flour

2 eggs

1 cup brown Sugar

1 cup quartered Dates

1 cup raisins

3/4 cup pecans

2 teaspoons Baking Soda (if sour milk is used, use soda and baking powder both)

2 teaspoons vanilla

1 teaspoon each cinnamon and allspice

1/4 teaspoon each Ginger and cloves

Cream shortening, sugar, and eggs. Add fruits, nuts, milk, flour, spices, and extract. Combine Baking Bowder with flour; Soda with milk (sour or buttermilk). Bake 30 minutes.

Is good to serve as a pudding with whipped cream or some sauce.
