Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x9 inch square baking pan.

In a small bowl, combine the chopped dates with the boiling water and baking soda. Allow them to sit for about 10-15 minutes to soften the dates.

Fold in the soaked dates along with the water into the batter. If desired, gently stir in the chopped walnuts for an added crunch.

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread it out evenly.

Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
