Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 qt pecans
1 qt chopped fresh dates
1 c self-rising flour, plus flour to dust
1 c sugar
2 stick butter, softened unsalted
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla

Steps:

  • 2. Mix together; flour, sugar, butter, eggs, and vanilla. Combine pecan and date to mixture. This will be very stiff. ***DO NOT ADD LIQUID. Note: dough is so stiff you may wish to mix with your hands.
  • 3. Using a bundt pan, butter and flour pan. Add the dough.
  • 4. Place a pan of water on the rack below the bunt pan to keep it moist. Bake at 350 for 1 hour. Let cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
