How to Make Mary's Orange Slice Cake
- Preheat oven to 250°F (120°C). Grease and flour a 13x9x3 inch baking pan.
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1 cup buttermilk.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients (see below) to the creamed mixture, alternating with the buttermilk mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped dates and 1 cup thinly sliced oranges.
- Stir in 1 cup shredded coconut.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan. The batter will be stiff; it's okay to use your hands to ensure even distribution.
- Bake for 2 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- While the cake is still warm, prepare the glaze by whisking together ½ cup orange juice and 1 cup powdered sugar until smooth. Pour glaze evenly over the hot cake.
- Let the cake cool completely in the pan before slicing. For best results, let it stand overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
