Let stand until luke- warm. Cream sugar and margarine; add beaten eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Stir together flour, cinnamon and salt. Stir into creamed mixture, mixing well. Add dates and liquid and nuts, if desired. Bake 30 to 35 minutes at 325 degrees in large pan (I use a jelly roll pan). Batter will be very thin. When cool, frost with powdered sugar mixed with enough lemon juice to make good spreading consistency.
