This is just about the same as above instructions for this cake; however, Clyde also had these directions written down in another place.
Cream butter (or margarine) and sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine buttermilk and soda in another bowl. Add alternately to butter/sugar mixture with flour, setting aside a bit of flour. Dredge dates, orange candy slices (chopped) and coconut in reserved flour and add to cake batter. Pour into greased tube pan and bake at 250 degrees for 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 hours. When cake is done, mix orange juice and powdered sugar. Remove cake from oven and pour over cake immediately. Let cake stand in pan about 30 minutes and remove when cool. Let sit overnight or longer before serving.
