  1 1/4 c  Water
      1 ts Baking soda
  1 1/2 c  A-P flour
      1 ts Baking powder
    1/2 ts Ground allspice
    1/2 ts Ground nutmeg
    1/2 ts Salt

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
  1 1/2 c  Unsweetened coconut flakes
    1/2 c  (packed) brown sugar
    1/4 ts Salt
      6 tb Butter
      6 tb Heavy whipping cream
 
  Set oven @ 350ºF/175ºC.
  
  Grease a 9" square baking dish.
  
  In a small saucepan, combine dates and water; bring to a
  simmer. Reduce heat to low; cook 5-6 minutes. Remove
  from heat; stir in baking soda until mixture is foamy.
  Set aside to cool slightly.
  
  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together flour, baking
  powder, allspice, nutmeg and salt.
  
  In a large bowl, beat butter and brown sugar over medium
  speed until fluffy, 2-3 minutes. Add egg; beat until
  fluffy. Add vanilla extract and walnuts, if desired;
  stir until incorporated. Mix half of the dry ingredients
  into the creamed butter mixture; stir gently until
  almost combined. Add half of the date mixture; stir.
  Repeat with remaining dry ingredients and remaining date
  mixture. Stir until just combined. Transfer to prepared
  baking dish.
  
  Bake 25 minutes. Rotate; bake an additional 15 minutes
  or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out
  clean.
  
  While the cake is baking, in a small saucepan, combine
  coconut, brown sugar, salt, butter and heavy cream.
  Bring to a simmer over low heat; cook 2 minutes. Set
  aside.
  
  Remove cake from the oven. Set oven to broil. Spread the
  coconut topping over the entire cake in a thin layer.
  
  Place cake under broiler 3" from the heating element
  with the oven door slightly open and the light on. Broil
  until topping is lightly golden brown, 3-4 minutes.
  Immediately transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
