Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
½ cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 pound dates, pitted and chopped
1 pound orange slices candy, chopped
2 cups chopped pecans
1 ⅓ cups shredded coconut
1 cup orange juice
2 cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.
  • In a mixing bowl, cream margarine and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and add to the creamed mixture.
  • Place flour in a large bowl and add dates, orange slices, and nuts. Stir to coat each piece. Add flour mixture and coconut to creamed mixture. This makes a very stiff dough, so it will be necessary to stir with a wooden spoon.

This recipe came from my mother-in-law, I have no idea where she obtained the recipe. My entire family loves this cake and I only make it at Christmas so before Thanksgiving everyone starts asking me if I am making it this year.

Categories     Cakes

Time 2h30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 c sugar
1 c butter or oleo
4 eggs

2 1/8 c chopped pecans or walnuts
1/2 c buttermilk
1 c orange juice
2 c powdered sugar

If baked in bunt pan after 24 hrs remove from fridge and invert on a cake plate at room temp until cake comes loose from bunt pan. Do not try to force this process your cake will break into pieces.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. This will give your cake the best flavor.
  • Grate the orange zest finely. This will help to release the oils and flavor from the zest.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. This will help to incorporate air into the cake, making it light and airy.
  • Beat in the eggs one at a time. This will help to prevent the cake from curdling.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients gradually, alternating with the milk. This will help to prevent the cake from becoming too dry.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
