Date Cream Cake Filling Recipe - Food.com image

My Grandma Deuel had this recipe, but I changed the additions of nuts to toasted pecans and toasted coconut and added Irish Cream instead of vanilla to the milk (she used whole milk). I tracked it down on the internet and found that it was posted in a magazine in the 1960's called the Farm Journal. This is just part of the whole recipe for Ice-Water Fudge Cake with Date Cream Filling and Fudge Frosting. I promise I'll add the original recipe, too!

  • Combine the milk and the irish cream and chopped dates in top of a double boiler and cook until it's hot and has a smoother texture.
