This recipe is at least 75 years old. So very moist, made with buttermilk, and the orange glaze just makes it awesome. Orange Date-Nut cake is traditional in our family. Wonderful for Christmas.

Been making this recipe for 50 years but with lemon glaze instead of orange. Give the lemon a try, the slight tang against the sweet dates and sugar of the glaze is a perfect combination.
