In Western Canada, some people call it a matrimonial cake. In Eastern Canada, you might hear it called date crumbles. You can often find these tasty treats in coffee shops as a sweet snack. Sometimes, people add nuts to the bottom layer or the crumbly topping. You might even find candied fruit peel mixed into the date filling for an interesting texture!
