3/4 cupful dates*, seeded and cut into pieces
1 cupful nuts, chopped

2. Then cut the cake into halves, and cut each half into narrow strips about 1 inch wide and 4 1/2 inches long. Roll each strip in powdered sugar. Store in a tightly covered tin box. These cakes have afiner flavor after they have been stored for a few days.
