Easy Date Cake image

This recipe came off the package of dates from Francies Dates, Phoenix, AZ. Flavor is enhanced if cake is aged for a day or so. A nice moist date which can be served with whipped cream sprinkled with chopped nut, or dusted with powdered sugar or with ice cream or cake au lait. Enjoy!
