Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking tray.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the vanilla extract and mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the plain flour and baking powder.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Fold in the chopped dates and walnuts gently until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and smooth the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
Once baked, allow the cake to cool in the tray for a few minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, dust the top with icing sugar before serving.
