Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan.
Place dates in a bowl. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon baking soda on top and mix well. Add 1/3 cup boiling water, stir, and set aside until dates have swelled, about 10 minutes. Squeeze with your hands to remove most of the liquid.
Meanwhile, mix flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda together in a bowl. Combine instant coffee, milk powder, and 2 tablespoons boiling water in a separate bowl, mix until dissolved.
Beat sugar, margarine, and eggs together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until well blended. Add coffee mixture and dates, beat until well mixed. Gradually mix in flour. Pour batter into the prepared baking pan.
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes.

This is a good cake with somewhat moist texture. It is not too sweet but has a unique taste. Serve with ice cream or as you wish.
