Date Nut Torte

By Addie

Whether I serve my torte with coffee at a luncheon or in the evening when friends visit, I always get compliments. My husband (we've been married 42 years), three children and five grandchildren are all good eaters, and it's a joy to prepare this dessert for them, too! Cooking is something I've always enjoyed.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 2/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup chopped walnuts
• 1 cup chopped dates
• Whipped cream

Preparation

Step 1

In a bowl, beat eggs. Gradually add sugars and beat until well mixed. Add combined dry ingredients; mix until moistened. Stir in nuts and dates. Pour into a greased 8-in. square baking pan.

Bake at 350° for 30 minutes. Torte top will be crusty and the inside chewy. Cut into squares and serve with a dollop of whipped cream. Yield: 9 servings.
