Applesauce Cake

1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
1 cup applesauce
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 1/2 cups plain flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup chopped dates
3/4 cup chopped walnuts

Cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and beat well. Add the vanilla essence and applesauce. Sift together the baking soda, flour, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg. Add to the mixture and beat until smooth. Fold in the dates and walnuts. Pour the mixture into a well-buttered and floured cake tin that will fit into the slow cooker. Put into the slow cooker and cover with four to five layers of paper towels. Cover the slow cooker loosely to allow steam to escape and cook on the high setting for about 3 1/2 hours or until the cake is cooked. Remove from the slow cooker and allow the cake to cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes before removing from the tin.
