4 c Sugar
1 1/2 c Butter
1 qt Pecan halves
1 qt Dates, chopped
3 c Flour
Eggs, as needed (5-7)

Prepare a large tube pan; line the bottom with brown paper and grease the
pan and lining. Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.

Cut butter and sugar together until it resembles cornmeal. Cover the
pecans and dates with the flour (in large bowl); rub together so all
pieces are well-floured. Dump sugar and butter on top; mix. Break in

batter. Add vanilla extract, and pour into prepared cake pan. Bake until
done, 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
