  4. Add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating well after each addition, adding the extracts at the very end..
  5. Fold in the soaked, drained orange peel, dates and nuts, reserving the soaking liquor for later..
  6. 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..
  7. 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..
