Instructions

- Place the chopped dates and the baking soda in a heatproof bowl and add the hot water. Leave to soften.
- For the sauce, combine all the ingredients in a small saucepan, stir over a low heat until butter has melted. Turn up the heat until beginning to bubble, then simmer for 6 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup of the sauce into the buttered dish and place in the freezer.
- In a bowl mix together the flour, baking powder and spices.
- In a kitchen aid with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until fluffy and lighter in color. Add eggs one at a time. Add dates and water. Add flour mix and walnuts, stir until just combined.
