Steps

Soak the chopped dates in the boiling water with the baking soda for 10 minutes, then mash roughly.
Cream the butter and sugar, beat in the eggs one at a time, then fold in the flour, baking powder, vanilla, and date mixture.
Pour into a greased baking dish and bake at 180°C / 350°F for 35-40 minutes until a skewer comes out clean.
Meanwhile, melt the butter and sugar for the sauce in a saucepan, then stir in the cream and simmer 3-4 minutes until glossy.
Poke a few holes in the warm cake and pour half the toffee sauce over it.
Serve warm slices with the remaining sauce poured on top.
