Cream the butter and sugar together. Add the beaten eggs, a little at a time. Sift the flour and fold in.
2. Mix the bicarbonate of soda and cocoa water mixture together. Pour over the dates in a bowl. Pour the boiling water over. Stir and leave to cool a little.
3. Add to the creamed mixture and fold in the chocolate chips. The mixture will be runny.
Pour the mixture into a 23 cm round loose-bottomed cake tin, which has been lined with a double thickness of greaseproof paper.
