- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1 1/2 cups raisins
- 3/4 cup dates, pitted and chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup butter
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2 eggs

- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9 inch square pan. In a saucepan, combine water and raisins. Bring to a boil and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in chopped dates and baking soda. Set aside.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup butter and 3/4 cup white sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla. Beat in the flour, salt and date mixture. Pour batter into prepared pan.
