ingredients
1 egg
1 cup sugar
1 cup canola or other light vegetable oil
1 1/3 cup pitted dates, finely chopped
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup homemade or canned pumpkin puree
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted, plus more as needed
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan.
In a large bowl, beat the egg. Stir in the sugar, oil and dates.
In a medium bowl, stir together the flour, baking soda, salt and spices. Add the egg mixture and the pumpkin puree alternately to the flour mixture in thirds, stirring to blend well each time. Stir in the nuts.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake until well browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack to cool for about 5 minutes.
To make the glaze, in a small bowl, mix the confectioners' sugar and lemon juice. If the glaze seems too thick, add a little more sugar.
Spread the glaze over the baked layer. Let stand for 5 minutes, then cut into bars about 3 inches by 1 1/2 inches.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
