    4       c            Sugar
    1 1/2   c            Butter
    1       qt           Pecan halves
    1       qt           Dates, chopped
    3       c            Flour
                         Eggs, as needed (5-7)
    2       T            Vanilla extract
 
   Prepare a large tube pan; line the bottom with brown paper and grease the
   pan and lining.  Preheat oven to 275 degrees F.
   
   Cut butter and sugar together until it resembles cornmeal.  Cover the
   pecans and dates with the flour (in large bowl); rub together so all
   pieces are well-floured.  Dump sugar and butter on top; mix.  Break in
   whole eggs (fewest possible) until you have the a wet mass, but not a
   batter.  Add vanilla extract, and pour into prepared cake pan.  Bake until
   done, 1 - 1 1/2 hours.
