Fantastic way to increase nutrient content while still fitting the 'treat' hit too. I added prunes and raisins within the two cups of dates, and blended it up with cocoa once boiled.

Method
Preheat oven to 180º C conventional or 160ºC. Grease 24cm Bundt tin or a large ring tin.
Combine dates and water in saucepan; bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered for 5 mins. Take from heat and stir in bicarbonate of soda, cocoa, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside to cool for 30 mins.
Beat butter and Dark Cane Sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract to creamed mixture.
Add eggs gradually, beating well between each addition. Sift combined flour twice and fold into mixture with date mixture.
Pour into prepared tin and bake for 1 - 1 hour 10 mins or until skewer comes out clean. Stand cake for 10 mins in tin then turn onto cooling rack. Slice and enjoy drizzled with Spiced Custard.
