Great tasty cake...I did end up adding more dates then specified, just cos I like them. Two thumbs up. -
I made this with my mom. We only had 1 cup of dates, no self rising flour so we added 1 tsp of baking powder. It came out great. Mom loved so much it was gone in 2 days! -
I have just taken this out of the oven, and had a taste! It is excellent and is very easy to make. It has a delightful nutty flavour, and I will be making it again for sure. Thank you for your submission.

After DH and I moved away from the farm, and to the city...I haven't done as much cooking and very little canning. But I do come to Zaar and look for new recipes once in a while. I'm still cooking Zaar!!
I like to play at Facebook, with my family and friends. A lot of my Zaar friends are there!! Yay! It's a good way to keep in touch.
We travel more. We're looking at the European trips now. Hope to go in the springtime. I really want to see London, I think I lived there in a past life, I've been obsessed with it since I was 10 years old!!
