Date Pudding Cake — Maurine G.

I really wanted this to taste better than it did.  I thought I liked dates, but have decided I like dates in things, but not as the main ingredient.  It is like Brownie pudding cake with a syrup on the bottom.  If you really like dates this would be yummy, other wise it is just so-so.   We threw most of it out.

Note:  the instructions in the book are wrong, I have the right instructions below (thanks mom!.


Date Pudding

1 1/2 hot water

1 C flour
2 t baking powder
1 t vanilla

Mix brown sugar and water and pour in a greased 9x13 pan.  Mix remaining ingredients and pour over water mixture.  Bake at 375-degrees for 30 minutes.
