Quick Cake
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
Steps
- 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.
