Date Cake Recipe

Instructions

1. Cream half a cup of butter with 3/4 cup of sugar; add one beaten egg and a cup of sour cream in which has been dissolved one level teaspoon of baking soda.
2. Flavor with nutmeg.
3. Add just enough flour to make a dough that will roll out into a thin sheet.
4. Divide it in two parts; over one-half spread a layer of finely chopped dates, lay the other sheet of paste on top, press lightly together, and cut into round or square cakes.
5. Bake in a hot oven.
