What a tasty cake - I love the citrus flavors in a cake, and orange is my favorite, so delicious - Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine, softened |
4 cups sugar, divided |
4 large eggs |
4 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups buttermilk |
1 (8 ounce) package sugared dates, chopped |
1 cup pecans, toasted, chopped |
4 teaspoons orange rind, grated, divided |
1 cup orange juice |
Directions:
1. Beat butter at medium speed with an electric mixer until fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups sugar, beating well. Add eggs, one at a time, beating until blended after each addition.
2. Combine flour and baking soda; add to butter mixture alternately with buttermilk, beginning and ending with flour mixture. Beat a low speed until blended after each addition. Stir in dates, pecans and 2 tablespoons orange rind. Pour batter into a greased and floured 10-inch tube pan.
3. Bake at 350F for 1 hour and 10 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center comed out clean.
4. Bring orange juice, remaining sugar and remaining rind to a boil in a saucepan; cool 1 minutes, stirring constantly. Gently, run a knife around edge of the cake; punch holes in the cake with a wooden pick. Drizzle glaze over warm cake. Let cool in pan on a wire rack.
