This cake was a disaster. It didn't turn out at all like the picture. I'm very disappointed.

The cake didn't rise as much as I expected. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I found that the cake was a little dry. I think I might have overbaked it. I would recommend checking the cake a few minutes before the recommended baking time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. I would recommend using less sugar next time.

I'm not usually a fan of dates, but I really enjoyed them in this cake. They added a nice chewy texture and a subtle sweetness.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover oranges. I always have a few oranges on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

This orange date cake was absolutely divine! The orange zest and juice gave it a wonderfully citrusy flavor, while the dates added a lovely sweetness and texture. I also loved the crunchy pecan topping. It was the perfect dessert to enjoy with a cup
