Step by step
Preheat oven to 175° C and grease and flour a 9-inch square pan.
Place water and chopped dates in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
Remove from the heat and stir in the baking soda, then set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together butter and white sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in the eggs one at a time, then mix in the vanilla.
Fold in the flour, salt and the date mixture.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cake from the oven and set the oven to broil.
Prepare the topping.
Melt 200g of butter in a saucepan.
Stir in brown sugar, 1 tin of Nestlé® Sweetened Condensed Milk and the chopped nuts.
Spread the topping over the warm cake and place under the broiler until lightly browned, about 3 minutes.
Watch carefully as the topping can burn easily under the broiler.
Allow the cake to cool before serving.
Broil topping briefly and stand nearby; alternatively, brown topping with a kitchen torch. Let the cake cool 20–30 minutes so topping sets before slicing.
