Ingredients 9 items

1 tin NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk
1.5 cups dried dates
1 cup Water
1 teaspoon Baking soda
1 cup butter
1 cup Caster sugar
2 Eggs
1.25 cups White self-raising flour
2 teaspoons Vanilla powder

How to prepare

Place NESTLÉ Sweetened Condensed Milk, dates, and water in a large saucepan. Bring to boil and cook on low heat stirring for 2-3 minutes.. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda. The mixture will become like foam, and then set aside to cool.
In another bowl, mix the butter and sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
Gently mix in the flour and vanilla powder, and then stir in the date mixture.
Pour the mixture into a buttered and floured baking tin. Bake in a 175°C preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean.
