How to cook deliciously - Orange Slice Cake

1 . Stage

Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Lightly grease and flour one 10 inch tube pan.

2 . Stage

In a mixing bowl, cream margarine and granulated sugar until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk and add to the creamed mixture.

3 . Stage

Place flour in a large bowl and add dates, orange slices, and nuts. Stir to coat each piece. Add flour mixture and coconut to creamed mixture. This makes a very stiff dough, so it will be necessary to stir with a wooden spoon.
