Date Cake with Sour Cream Topping

purchased from Stahl Estate in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Notation indicates this
came from a 1954 newspaper clipping, but I don't have the source
information

1-1/3 cups cake flour
1 cup light brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup boiling water
1 beaten egg

Cream butter and add the dry ingredients. Pour boiling water over
dates and let sit for five minutes. Add nuts, dates and water to
dry mixture. Mix well. Stir in beaten egg. Pour into greased
square pan and bake at 350 for 45 minutes. Let cool and cover with
topping.

Topping:

1 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup finely chopped dates

Boil the brown sugar and sour cream together for about 10 minutes on
low heat. Add the dates and boil for 5 minutes longer. Let cool and
spread on cooled cake.
