Ingredients

  • ⅓ cup soft butter
  • 1⅓ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1¾ cups flour
  • 3 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon grated nutmeg
  • ½ lb. dates, stoned and cut in pieces

Directions

1

Put ingredients in a bowl and beat all together for three minutes, using a wooden cake spoon. Bake in a buttered and floured cake pan thirty-five to forty minutes. If directions are followed this makes a most satisfactory cake; but if ingredients are added separately it will not prove a success.
