Directions:
Prepare 3/4 cup dates by pouring boiling water over them ( in a sieve). Cut fine and coat with 1 tablespoon flour.

Sift together 2/3 cup sifted flour, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1/2 tsp. salt.

Beat 3 eggs until foamy. Gradually add 3/4 cup sugar, beating constantly until thick and ivory colored. Blend in 1/2 tsp. vanilla. Fold in dry ingredients carefully but thoroughly. Then fold in 1/2 cup pecans chopped fine and the dates.

Spread in 15 x 11 jelly roll pan lined with waxed paper, then greased generously and floured lightly. Drain 20 maraschino cherries. Arrange 10 cherries across each end of batter, about 1/2 inch from edge of pan. Bake in slow even (325º) 30-35 minutes.

Turn out onto waxed paper which has been sprinkled with powered sugar. Remove paper, trim edges and cut crosswise into two 11 x 7 1/2" rectangles. Roll each rectangle tightly beginning with the cherry end. Wrap in waxed paper and chill. Spread chilled rolls thinly with frosting and roll in 1 cup pecans, chopped fine. Chill. To serve cut 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices. Frost with powdered sugar frosting (butter, powdered sugar, cream and vanilla).
