List of Ingredients




Ingredients

1 pound orange slice candy, cut up
2 cups pecans, chopped
8 ounces dates, cut up
1 cup coconut, shredded or grated
2 cups all purpose flour
1 cup butter
1-1/2 cups sugar
4 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup buttermilk

1/4 cup orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/4 cup butter



Recipe



Procedure

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Generously grease and flour a tube pan; set aside. Mix together candy, pecans, dates, coconut and 1/4 cup of flour. Set aside. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Mix together baking soda, salt and remaining 1-3/4 cups flour. Add alternately with buttermilk to butter mixture. Add nut mixture. Mix well. Pour batter into prepared pan and bake for 2 hours. Remove from oven.

Glaze: In small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, sugar and butter. Cook until sugar is dissolved. Spoon glaze over warm cake.

Note: This is very much like a fruitcake. Watch the oven time closely towards the end as you don't want to over-bake the cake. This cake holds well when made ahead of time, can be frozen, or kept in an air-tight container for up to two weeks.
