I haven't made this for several years but George and I both absolutely love it. We just do not need it. It is a little bit rich. When I have made it, it has always been at Christmas .
Sift together:
3 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
Cream:
1 cup butter
2 cups sugar
Add:
4 eggs--one at a time and beat after each.
Add:
Flour mixture alternately with: 1 cup buttermilk
Mix in separate bowl:
2 cups nuts
1/2 box raisins that have been soaked in hot water and drained
1 lb. finely sliced and diced candy orange slices ( rolled in flour to keep separated, then shake off excess flour before adding to mixture)
1 cup coconut
Pour batter over fruit and nuts. Mix well. Pour in tube pan that has been greased and floured. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours.
Topping:
Mix 1 cup orange juice and 1lb. powdered sugar. Punch small holes in top of cake with a toothpick. Pour orange juice mixture over hot cake. Let cake sit for several hours or until cake is cold before removing from pan.

Does this recipe use the candy orange slices or an actual orange? My grandma used to make orange slice bread with the candies, but I wasn't sure what this was calling for.
You use candy orange slices.
