Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC) and grease and flour a bundt pan thoroughly.
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the sugar and shortening until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is fully incorporated before adding the next.
  4. In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda.
  5. Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the creamed mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Mix until just combined.
  6. Stir in the orange flavoring, whole cranberries, chopped dates, and chopped nuts.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared bundt pan, spreading it evenly.
  8. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes before carefully inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. While the cake cools, make the glaze: In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup orange juice, and 1/4 teaspoon orange flavoring.
  11. Bring the glaze mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  12. Pour the hot glaze evenly over the warm cake.
  13. Allow the cake to set for several hours before slicing and serving.
