Got this recipie from a friend years ago, a Christmas Tradition every since
and where I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my recipie search and not seen this one,
thought you too might enjoy… very moist, festiveand tasty.
Orange Slice Cake preheat oven to 250
The Glaze: nite before, combine the glaze then set aside:
1 cup Orange Juice
2 cup powdered sugar
The Cake:
Cut up and set aside: 1lb. dates
1lb orange slice candy
1/2 cup flour (this is to keep the fruit n nuts from sticking together)
Combine and set aside: 3 cup flour ( I like to sift twice, makes for lighter bread)
1 Tbs. cornstarch
1/2 tsp. salt
Combine and set aside to dissolve: 1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 cup buttermilk
Cream til light: 1 cup butter
2 cup sugar
Beat into the creamed mixture, 4 eggs ( 1 at a time, beating well after each addition )
Beginning and ending with the dry mixture,
alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, blending well with each addition.
The dough will be thick thus, mixing with your hands,
blend in the dates and orange candy
1 cup nuts ( I like black walnut)
1 cup coconut
Pour into 3 small loaf pans, fill only 3/4 full
Bake 1hr at 250 degree oven, test doneness with toothpick
Pour Glaze over Warm Cakes … set aside overnite to properly set up
Trust you’ll enjoy as much as we do … Cowgirl
