Combine water and baking soda; pour over dates and let stand to soften. Combine with other ingredients. Pour into greased 9-inch square pan, bake at 350ºF. for 30 minutes. The Amish serve this with whipped topping--after the cake cools, break it up into bite-size pieces and mix it with enough whipped topping to cover the cake completely. |
