CANADIAN MATRIMONIAL CAKE
Every occasion I went to as a child, I can remember seeing this cake. I hated it back then. I guess I have acquired a taste for it as the years have gone by. I love it now. This is not overly sweet. This is very similar to date squares.

AUNTIE ANNE'S MATRIMONIAL CAKE
I grew up eating this cake that my Auntie Ann would make for us my dear aunt passed away and one of things she left me was her cookbook which is in archival sheet protectors and very worn with age so before I get too worn with age, I will give this to the www.food.com community to enjoy! This is the cake where I fell in love with dates. I have checked this www.food.com web site for a duplicate recipe and I'm pleased to say there is not another one like this so please enjoy this cake with dates!

Steps:
- Date Filling: Cook dates in water with orange rind {grated} with sugar over a moderate heat until thickened and smooth remove from heat and add fruit juices mix well and cool before spreading.
- Crumb Mixture: Sift flour, baking soda and salt rub in butter add sugar and oatmeal mix well spread 1/2 of the crumb mixture in a greased pan and press in smoothly. Cover with cooled date mixture evenly then cover with the remaining crumb mixture pat to make smooth bake 30 - 35 minutes in a cool oven 325 Fahrenheit then increase the heat to 350 Fahrenheit to lightly brown cake.
- Cut in squares while hot allow to cool in pan.
- Note: Date mixture can be cut in half if you do not want that much filling. Crumb mixture I blend the butter well with the crumb mixture then I put the mixture in my Kitchen Aid stand mixer on the lowest setting for about 3 minutes until well blended to crumb consistency only do not over blend in mixer it will happen quickly about 1 - 3 minutes depending on how soft your butter is in the beginning.
- Note: I use cold butter for the crumble mixture. We like like this date crumble very delicately browned so we don't turn the oven up to 350 Fahrenheit just keep it at 325 for 10 more minutes after the 30 minutes. I also add quite a bit more lemon and just about a 1/4 cup of dates more that are chopped and pitted that's how our family likes this cake. I also let the date mixture marry for a couple of days in the refrigerator and then reduce it somewhat on very low heat then cool for baking the cake.

- In a saucepan, cook together all the ingredients except the lemon juice. Cook gently until soft (about 20 minutes). It's ready when the dates soften into a paste. (If you prefer having a perfectly smooth paste, then blitz it for a few seconds in a food processor.) Set aside to cool then add the lemon juice.
- Preheat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/360°F/Gas 4 and grease a baking tin (I use a 27x19cm tin) with either butter or spray with baking oil.
