Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups orange slice candy
- 2 cups pecans
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup unsalted butter
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup orange juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Grease and flour a 10-inch tube pan or Bundt pan.
Chop the orange slice candies into small pieces. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition.
Dissolve the baking soda in the buttermilk, then add the buttermilk mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Gradually mix in the flour until fully incorporated.
Fold in the chopped orange slice candies, pecans, and shredded coconut, making sure they are evenly distributed in the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 2 hours or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
While the cake is baking, prepare the orange glaze by mixing powdered sugar and orange juice in a small bowl until smooth.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then invert onto a wire rack or serving plate.
Pour the orange glaze over the warm cake, spreading it evenly over the top and allowing it to soak into the cake.
Let the cake cool completely before serving. Slice and enjoy!
