I have not tried this recipe. I got this recipe from The Beverly Lewis Amish Heritage Cookbook. This says it is very nice sliced thin and served with Velveeta cheese.
Ingredients:
1 cup boiling water
1 1/2 cups pitted dates, cut fine with scissors
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt (scant)
2 cups sifted flour
3/4 cup chopped nuts
Directions:
1. Pour boiling water over dates. Add soda and let mixture cool.
2. In separate bowl, beat egg; add sugar and mix well. Stir in date mixture and remaining ingredients; mix well.
3. Bake in loaf pan, greased or lined with wax paper, for 1 hour or more at 350 degrees.
4. Ice with plain frosting if desired.
