This recipe to me is very orangy and refreshing just be careful not to overcook it. Take the butter out ahead of time so it will be at room temperature when your ready to start baking. HAVE FUN. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, room temperature (2 sticks of butter) |
1 1/2 cups sugar |
4 eggs |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder |
2 tablespoons grated orange zest |
2 tablespoons orange juice |
1/2 cup chopped pecans |
1/2 cup chopped dates |
Directions:
1. Grease a 9x5x3-inch loaf pan; dust with flour.
2. In a large bowl, beat butter. Add sugar gradually, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition.
3. In a separate bowl, stir together flour and baking powder.
4. Gradually beat flour mixture into the butter and egg mixture just until blended.
5. Stir in orange zest and orange juice; fold in pecans and dates.
6. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake at 350* degrees for 45 to 55 minutes, or until cake testes done.
7. Cool in pan on a rack; remove from pan to rack to cool completely.
