This was my favourite thing when I was a child! Mum made it quite regularly, I used to chop the dates. It would ages to get a cup full as quite a few went in my mouth!
Into a bowl put
1 cup chopped dates
1 small cup brown sugar
1 heaped tablespoon butter
1 level teaspoon baking soda
Then cover with 1 cup boiling water.
Cool a little, then add 2 cups of self raising flour and a pinch of salt. Pour into tin or loaf tin and bake at 180 degrees for half an hour. Butter top when hot and sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon.
