Ingredients

1 ½ cups water
1 ½ cups raisins
¾ cup dates, pitted and chopped
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
¼ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons butter
½ cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons heavy cream
½ cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan. In a saucepan, combine water and raisins. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped dates and baking soda. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour, salt and date mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Remove cake from oven, and set oven to Broil.
Make Topping: In a saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir in brown sugar, cream and chopped nuts. Spread mixture over warm cake and place under broiler until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Watch carefully - it burns easily under the broiler. Cool before serving.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of dates, but I'm so glad I did! The dates added a lovely sweetness and texture to the cake. I'll definitely be making this again.
