INGREDIENTS

  • Cake Base

    • 💧 1 ½ cups water
    • 1 ½ cups raisins
    • 🌰 ¾ cup dates, pitted and chopped
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 🍚 ¾ cup white sugar
    • 🧈 ½ cup butter
    • 🥚 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt

  • Topping

    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter
    • 🍯 ½ cup brown sugar
    • ½ cup chopped walnuts

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.

2

Combine water and raisins in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat, then stir in chopped dates and baking soda. Set aside.

3

Cream together white sugar and butter in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Add flour, salt, and date mixture; mix until combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Remove cake from the oven.

5

Set the oven to broil. Meanwhile, make the topping: Melt butter in a small saucepan; stir in brown sugar, walnuts, and cream until combined. Spread mixture over warm cake.

6

Place cake under preheated broiler and cook until top is lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Rotate cake as needed for even browning; watch carefully as the top can burn quickly under the broiler.
