Queen Elizabeth cake

Last night I was able to hear Alexander Graham Bell's voice from this news article. I hope you have all the plug-ins in your computer to do this, I had to go to K's macbook as my Vaio couldn't do it.

Laurie recently posted this 100 year old family recipe on her blog and I decided to make it.  I love to learn about old recipes. It was delicious, made from dates. I used a 9 x 9 baking pan and baked it for half an hour, that was the only difference. And I didn't make the frosting. K loved it with ice cream. It's called 'Queen Elizabeth cake'.

I love cake, but usually am too lazy to bake it from scratch. I like to use Pillsbury cake mix and frosting. Yum.

I love old recipes and it looks pretty easy. (we bake a lot at our house, but I'm all for easy!) The only problem is the dates make it look like chocolate!

I love cake of all sorts and I must say this looks rather scrumptious. My sweet tooth is intrigued...
