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

Method

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.
