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.

2 c chopped pecans
8 oz chopped dates
2 box orange jello
1 c margarine or butter
2 c sugar
3 1/2 c all purpose flour
4 large eggs
1 c buttermilk
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
FROSTING
1/2 c orange juice
2 c powdered sugar

  • 1. Line the bottom of a large tube pan with greased waxed paper, Do not grease the sides of the pan.
  • 2. Sift three cups of flour with soda, salt, and jello. Cream butter, Add sugar and cream well. Add eggs, one at a time. Alternate sifted flour with milk. Add nuts, coconut, and dates. Use the remaining 1/2 cup of flour to coat the cut up orange candy slices. Fold the candy in last with as little mixing as possible to keep the candy from settling. Bake in a large tube pan at 250 degrees for 3 hours, Do not remove from pan. Pour a mixture of the frosting over the cake while it is still hot, let set in pan until cold.

Tips:

  • Use fresh oranges. Fresh oranges have a more intense flavor and aroma than store-bought orange juice or concentrate.
  • Zest the oranges before juicing them. The zest contains a lot of the orange's flavor, so it's important to get as much of it as you can.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough and dense.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking can make the cake dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

This orange slice cake is a delicious and refreshing treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and flavorful cake, tangy orange filling, and sweet and creamy frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
