Sift together flour, baking pwdr, salt and nutmeg; add dates and toss lightly. Cream together butter and sugar; beat in eggs and lemon juice. Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture alternating with mashed bananas; after each addition, beat until smooth. Turn into greased 9x5x3 inch loaf pan. Bake in 350* oven for 40 minutes or until cake tester inserted in center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes before removing from pan.
