Ingredients | Candied Orange Peel Cake Decoration

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

Directions

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.

Pour batter into the tube pan. Bake for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. As soon as cake comes from oven, combine the orange juice and confectioners sugar and pour over hot cake. Let stand in pan overnight.
