Preheat oven to 180°C conventional or 160°C fan-forced.  Grease a 20cm square cake tin. Line the base with baking paper.

In a large bowl combine the dates, Edmonds Baking Soda and boiling water. Stand for 5 minutes.

Add Tararua Butter and Chelsea Soft Brown Sugar (or Chelsea Dark Cane Sugar) and stir until combined.

Add Edmonds Self Raising Flour and eggs; mix until just combined. Pour mixture into prepared tin. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until cooked through. Stand for 10 minutes before turning out of tin.

Slice and serve warm with hot butterscotch sauce poured over the top.
