Ingredients

2 cups coarsely chopped dates (about 12 ounces)
2-1/2 cups water
2 teaspoons baking soda
1-2/3 cups sugar
1/2 cup butter, softened
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
BUTTERSCOTCH SAUCE:
7 tablespoons butter, cubed
2-1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup half-and-half cream
1 tablespoon brandy
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Whipped cream, optional

Directions

Preheat oven to 350°. In a small saucepan, combine dates and water; bring to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in baking soda. Cool to lukewarm.

In a large bowl, cream sugar and butter until light and fluffy, 5-7 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in vanilla. In another bowl, mix flour and baking powder; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in date mixture.
Transfer to a greased 13x9-in. baking pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean, 50-60 minutes. Cool slightly in pan on a wire rack.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt butter; add brown sugar and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat. Stir in brandy and vanilla. Serve sauce warm with warm cake. If desired, top cake with whipped cream.
