Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease and line the base of a 7 cm deep, 22 cm (base) cake pan.
2.
Place dates and baking soda into a bowl. Pour over boiling water. Allow to stand for 20 minutes.
3.
Using an electric mixer, beat butter, sugar, and vanilla until pale and creamy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Using a large metal spoon, fold through date mixture and flour until well combined.

Spoon mixture into prepared cake pan. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Turn onto a plate.
