Pecan Date Pudding
This date pudding recipe was passed down from my great-grandmother to my grandmother. They lovingly served it with whipped cream on top. We never had a holiday without it. —Patricia Rutherford, Winchester, Illinois

Reviews
Much too sweet as written. I would cut the sugar by half.
This looks like an old fashioned pudding cake recipe. I would love to try it, but I am a little freaked out about using 2 cups of sugar for a dessert baked in an 8-inch square pan. Does anyone have experienced this recipe? Did it seem excessively sweet?
