With the holidays forthcoming, I thought I would share this recipe from my
granny (who would be overflow 100 yrs old if she were still cheerful).
It is a lowering, moist cake that keeps wellspring, freezes beautifully and is a
good substitute for traditional "Fruit Coat" during the holidays.
Cream butter and sugar wellspring. Beat egg yolks until lemon colored and add to
creamed assortment. Add buttermilk and grated orange peel and mix good. Flour
dates and pecans with 1 cup of the flour. Mix remaining flour with other
dry ingredients and add to creamed assortment. Beat egg whites until stiff and
fold gently into clobber. Pour into greased and floured bundt pan and bake
at 400 degrees for one hour and fifteen proceedings (or until toothpick
inserted in middle of cake comes out neat). Remove from oven, invert on
plate and glaze while hot with a mixture of 3 cups granualted cabbage, 0.75
cups orange juice and 3 Tbsp grated orange uncase. This will form a sugar
"freshness" on the cake.
