Heat oven to 350 degrees. Combine dates and baking soda in a bowl; add 1 cup boiling water; stir to combine; set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl; set aside. In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat 4 tablespoons butter and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition.
