In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make a Traditional Southern Orange Slice Cake for Christmas. This is an impressive cake that can fill in for a fruit cake on your Christmas table!

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon soda (I omitted the soda, but I recommend adding it in.)
½ cup buttermilk
1 pound orange slice candy, chopped
2 cups chopped pecans (You may substitute another kind of nut, if you prefer.)
1 cup angel flake coconut
½ pound chopped dates
cooking oil spray
2 cups confectioner's sugar
¼ to ½ cup orange juice (to desired consistency)

With an electric mixer on medium speed, cream butter and sugar together in a very large mixing bowl. Beat in eggs, then flour and buttermilk (also soda, if you are using it). Add candy, pecans, coconut, and dates. Mix well. Pour batter into a tube pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Bake at 275 degrees (F) for 2 hours, or until cake tester comes out clean. (I placed a square of aluminum foil over the top or the cake for the first hour, in order to prevent over-browning.) While cake is hot, mix confectioner's sugar and orange juice and pour it over the top of the cake to form a glaze. Allow cake to cool in pan. (The glaze will sink into the cake as the cake cools.) Remove cooled cake from pan and place on nice cake plate. When ready to serve, cut cake into 1-inch slices, garnishing the top with whipped cream (or Cool Whip), a piece of orange slice candy, and a sprig of mint. I hope you love this Christmas Orange Slice Cake!--Betty ♡♥♡♥♡
