Lovely easy recipe. I had to alter it because I didn't have enough dates to make 1 cup. I made up the cup measurement with cranberries and sultanas as well as the dates. The mix of 3 fruits is still lovely.

Thank you for this delicious easy recipe, I just added an egg, halved the sugar, but added a dessert spoonful of honey; because it's a natural preservative: Thus this cake keeps well for a few days in a sealed tin at room temperature.

Just put it in the ovenMy rating is due to the flavour before it went in the oven - hee hee yum yum.Hope it's like the recipe we used to make years ago I remember no eggs or milk and 2 cups of flour Sounds a bit sweet but first time best to follow the recipe. So fingers crossed.
Preheat oven to 180°C bake. Grease a loaf tin (approximately 22cm x 12cm) and line with baking paper.
Place dates, Chelsea White Sugar, butter and baking soda in a large bowl. Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the top and leave to cool for 10 minutes.
Sift in flour and baking powder. Mix until just combined, then transfer to prepared tin.
Bake for 40-50 minutes, until golden brown and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Leave to cool in tin for 10 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack.
