Method

Preheat oven to 180 C
Combine dates with 1 cup of hot water and soda, set aside for 1 hour (I set aside for much less time than that). Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Gradually beat in egg. Sift flour with pinch of salt and stir into mixture with vanilla. Mix in date mixture and apple. Spoon into a 20 cm lined cake tin. Bake for 40 minutes or until top is set. Place topping ingredients in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until well combined. Remove cake from oven. Spoon topping over to cover and cook for 20-30 mins longer or until topping is golden and cake is cooked through. Remove from oven and cool in tin.
