Recipe

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Generously grease a 10-inch layer or springform pan. Blend ingredients, except cranberries, nuts and dates, in order given, using a hand whisk or on slow speed of mixer. Fold in nuts, dates, and cranberries. Spoon into prepared pan, place on baking sheet, and bake until top springs back when gently touched (55 to 65 minutes). Cool well.

Mix glaze ingredients (add enough orange juice to make a pourable liquid) and drizzle lightly over cake.

Serves 12 to 16.
