Preparing the Dates
Place the chopped dates in a heatproof bowl and pour the hot water over them. Sprinkle in the baking soda, stir gently, and let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes. During this time the dates will soften and partially dissolve, forming a thick, sticky mixture that helps create a moist crumb and tender texture in the cake. Once softened, stir lightly until it resembles a chunky date paste with some liquid remaining.
