The baking time indicated in the recipe was way too much... it became a brick that I could smash a window with.

After reading other posts added one egg and some ginger. Also cooked for 40 mins. Think the egg ensured it was light. Would put in more dates next time.

I used self raising flour (omitted baking powder and soda) and added in an egg and cinnamon. Dates I also chopped finely and baked for less time. It come out amazing!

if it turned out like a brick, you forgot baking powder. Have not tried this recipe yet. But if the dates are large....try chopping them up!!!!
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.
