Amish Date Pudding - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 c. dates, cut fine
    1 c. hot water
    1 tsp. baking soda
    1 c. sugar
    1 Tbsp. butter
    1 c. flour
    1 egg
    1 c. chopped nuts
    several bananas
    whipped topping
Preparation
    Pour water over dates and soda.
    Let stand until cool.
    Add sugar, butter, flour, egg and nuts; mix well.
    Bake like a cake on a greased 11 x 14-inch or larger pan in a 325\u00b0 oven for about 35 minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
    When cool, cut in 1-inch squares.
    Alternate layers of cake, sliced bananas and whipped topping in a large bowl or individual containers.
    Garnish with bananas.
    Assemble near serving time, as bananas quickly discolor and soften.
