Date Cake Recipe

Eight eggs, one and one-quarter cups of pulverized sugar, two tablespoons of ground cinnamon and cloves mixed, one cup of matzah-meal; one-half pound seeded dates, cut fine, and the juice of half a lemon.

Beat the yolks of the eggs and sugar together until very light, add the matzah meal, spices, dates and lemon, and finally put in the whites of the eggs, beaten to a stiff froth.

Bake in a moderate oven three-quarters of an hour.
