I stewed 1.5 c dates (those are pretty dry) for 3-4 minutes with enough water to cover them, and cinnamon, cloves, allspice, nutmeg, a little black pepper. Then let it all cool down, blended it up with two long, medium thick carrots. I used 1.5 c corn flour, 1/2 c all purpose flour, 1 T baking powder, 1/4 c walnut oil, 1/3 c sugar. The batter was thicker than a regular cake batter would be. Baked it at 350 F in a 9x12" tray.
For the topping I just whipped a stick of butter with honey, it is yum, we like that on bread, too.
Oh, I added a few handful of raisins, too, and you could use walnuts, but those are optional. Well, making the whole cake is optional, really :)
