1 ½ cups pitted dates, chopped
1/3 tsp bicarb soda
80g butter
1 cup boiling water
1 ½ cups self-raising flour
¾ cup brown sugar
2 eggs, lightly beaten
Caramel sauce:

Pour mixture into prepared cake tin and bake for 40 minutes or until cooked when tested with a skewer. To make caramel sauce, place all ingredients in a small saucepan over medium heat and stir until combined. Let it simmer for 5 minutes or until thickened slightly. Serve the cake with warm caramel sauce. Serves 10 to 12.
