I soaked as recipe said then processed dates with half the water before adding rest of the wate4 and proceeding with rest of recipe, as the dates were really large. This worked well. Thankfully I read reviews while cooking about length of cooking time being too long. Tested it after 45mins and it was perfect. Great for breakfast toasted., approved=true, user_name=Karina Toohill, hs_createdate=1702249851418, rating_new__1_5_=5, id=11175374628}]}

Method

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.
