I love baking cakes...but I usually don't eat them.
This is one of exceptions!

200g finely chopped dates
1 teas baking soda

50 g roasted nuts (your choice), chopped

120ml milk
90 g butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 teas vanilla
110 g nuts, flaked

Place apples, dates, soda and boiling water in a saucepan, bring to boil and let cool.
Beat butter and sugar, mix in vanilla and egg; sift flour and salt, fold in with apples mixture and nuts. Spoon into cake tin.
Bake for 50-60 minutes.
10 minutes before the cake is ready prepare the topping-
Heat milk and butter in a saucepan, add vanilla sugar and nuts and cook for 5-8 minutes.
When cake is ready take out, flatten the top and pour the topping over it.
Return to oven for 10-15 minutes, until the topping is golden brown.
