3 cups flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
¾ cup butter

In a medium mixing bowl, sift 2 cups flour with salt and baking soda. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar 5 minutes or until smooth and sugar has dissolved. Add eggs, 1 at time. Blend in dry ingredients alternately with buttermilk. Preheat oven to 350°F. In a small mixing bowl, combine remaining flour, dates, pecans and zest. Blend well and add to cake mixture. Pour into a greased Bundt pan and bake 1 hour. Remove and invert cake onto platter.
