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.
