Cake #89 - Date and Time Cake

Tuesday Humour Cake - Date and Time Cake.

Had I dared to be more experimental, this would have been Date and Thyme Cake. I do suspect the family had appreciated that kind of experiment much. This cake with dates and white chocolate they loved.

400 ml granulated sugar
4 eggs
600 ml plain flour
