AUNTIE ANNE'S MATRIMONIAL CAKE
I grew up eating this cake that my Auntie Ann would make for us my dear aunt passed away and one of things she left me was her cookbook which is in archival sheet protectors and very worn with age so before I get too worn with age, I will give this to the www.food.com community to enjoy! This is the cake where I fell in love with dates. I have checked this www.food.com web site for a duplicate recipe and I'm pleased to say there is not another one like this so please enjoy this cake with dates!

Steps:
- Date Filling: Cook dates in water with orange rind {grated} with sugar over a moderate heat until thickened and smooth remove from heat and add fruit juices mix well and cool before spreading.
- Crumb Mixture: Sift flour, baking soda and salt rub in butter add sugar and oatmeal mix well spread 1/2 of the crumb mixture in a greased pan and press in smoothly. Cover with cooled date mixture evenly then cover with the remaining crumb mixture pat to make smooth bake 30 - 35 minutes in a cool oven 325 Fahrenheit then increase the heat to 350 Fahrenheit to lightly brown cake.
- Cut in squares while hot allow to cool in pan.
- Note: Date mixture can be cut in half if you do not want that much filling. Crumb mixture I blend the butter well with the crumb mixture then I put the mixture in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer on the lowest setting for about 3 minutes until well blended to crumb consistency only do not over blend in mixer it will happen quickly about 1 - 3 minutes depending on how soft your butter is in the beginning.
- Note: I use cold butter for the crumble mixture. We like like this date crumble very delicately browned so we don't turn the oven up to 350 Fahrenheit just keep it at 325 for 10 more minutes after the 30 minutes. I also add quite a bit more lemon and just about a 1/4 cup of dates more that are chopped and pitted that's how our family likes this cake. I also let the date mixture marry for a couple of days in the refrigerator and then reduce it somewhat on very low heat then cool for baking the cake.
AUNT EDNA'S OATMEAL CAKE
Steps:
- In large mixing bowl, add sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Mix well with hand mixer until soft. Add eggs, flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder and vanilla. Mix well with hand beater. Add oats last. Mix well. Grease and flour cake pan. On middle rack, bake for 45 minutes at 350. Cake it done if inserted toothpick comes out clean. Cake should be spongy to the touch, especially in the middle of the cake. Let cool 1/2 hour then pour icing over cake.
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe bananas. This will give your cake a more intense banana flavor.
- Mash the bananas thoroughly. This will help to incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent them from clumping together.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked all the way through.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
