Method

Grease a 20 cm round spring form tin and line with baking paper - preheat oven to 180°C. 

Put the dates in a small saucepan with 1 cup of water and just bring to the boil - stir in baking soda then remove from the heat. Set aside until just warm. 

Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Stir in date mixture and the apple then the sifted flours until almost smooth. Spoon into the tin and smooth the surface. Bake for 40 minutes. 

Combine the topping ingredients in a small saucepan and stir over low heat, until butter is melted and ingredients well combined. 

Remove the cake from the oven and smooth the topping over the top. Return the cake to the oven for 20-30 minutes or until the topping is golden and the cake is cooked through. 

Remove from the oven and leave the cake in the tin to cool completely then turn out.
