2 sticks butter
2 c. self-rising flour
3 eggs
3 tbsp. finely chopped nuts (maybe more)
1 c. pitted dates, chopped
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix the butter and sugar together well. Add the eggs, flour and vanilla, beating to mix. Add other ingredients and bake 40 minutes to 1 hour at 300 degrees. Bake in a sheet cake pan that has been greased and floured. Don't bake too long.
