1 cup chopped dates (much easier to cut up with a food processor)
1 cup sugar
1 cup flour
1 tablespoon butter

1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup walnuts

NOTE:  You may wish to have whipped cream, additional walnuts, and bananas on hand for the topping as indicated below.

Directions:  

Pour boiling water over dates and soda.  Let set until cool. 

Now combine the rest of the ingredients.  

Add date mixture to the rest of the ingredients. 

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. 

Test cake with a toothpick.  If it comes out clean, the cake is ready.  Cut the cake into squares and top with whipped cream, walnuts and bananas.
