Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 9-inch square cake pan. Line it with wax paper. Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Add the whole wheat flour and baking powder. Add the sugar and chopped dates. Warm the molasses and cider until molasses has dissolved. Stir it into the flour. Then add the beaten eggs and beat well.
