Recipe Instructions

In large bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups flour, sugar, yeast and salt. Heat water, milk and margarine until very warm (125 to 130F); margarine does not need to melt.

Stir into dry ingredients. Stir in egg, dates and enough remaining flour to make stiff batter. Cover; let rest 10 minutes.

Spread batter in bottom and 1-inch up sides of greased 9-inch Springform pan. Cover; let rise until almost doubled in size, about 45 minutes.

Prepare Streusel: With electric mixer, beat margarine until light. Slowly add sugar and continue beating until creamy. Stir in flour, chopped walnuts or pecans and ground cinnamon.

While batter rises, prepare streusel. Drop streusel by spoonfuls over batter.

Bake at 400F for 40 minutes or until golden. If needed, cover with foil during last 10 minutes to prevent excess browning. Remove sides of pan; cool on base on wire rack.
