Orange Cake with Rum instructions
- Soak the chopped dates, nuts and orange peel in orange liquor, overnight. The trick in soaking is in using a flat bowl or a plate. That way, you don't use up too much liquor. Now cover the plate in cling wrap to avoid the alcohol from evaporating..
- In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs until blended. Beat in applesauce..
- Combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt, in a separate bowl..
- Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition, adding the extracts at the very end..
- Fold in the soaked, drained orange peel, dates and nuts, reserving the soaking liquor for later..
- Pour into a greased 9-in. spring-form pan. Bake at 350° for 55-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean..
- Cool for about 5-7 minutes in the pan, now with a spoon, drizzle the remaining liquor over the cake while its still warm, until the cake is evenly coated with the liquor..
- The liquor cake will stay good in room temp for 3 days and in refrigerator for a week. keep it covered in an airtight container in either case. Enjoy!.
