Orange Tort
Ingredients
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 cup sour or buttermilk
ΒΌ cup orange juice
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
2 TBS grated orange peel
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 325
Method
In a large bowl or stand mixer. Mix sugar, eggs, milk, and orange juice until blended
Sift flour and baking soda together, add all at once to liquid, mix until smooth.
Stir in orange peel, dates and walnuts.
Pour batter into a well greased tube pan.
Bake for one hour. Cake is done when a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Allow cake to cool on a rack in the pan for a few minutes.When the pan is cool enough to handle turn it out onto a plate. Wash the pan and dry it thoroughly, spray it lightly with oil and return cake to pan.
Topping
Mix one cup sugar with one cup orange juice. Allow to stand until cake comes out of the oven then bring to a rolling boil. Remove from heat immediately to prevent boiling over. Add a jigger of Rum and pour it over the cake. Give the pan a few jiggles and the juice will run to the bottom, cake should float freely in the liquid. Place on a rack and allow to absorb all the liquid and cool completely.
Turn out onto a cake plate and serve slices with a dollop of whipped cream and a grating of nutmeg.

I never really cared for a tort but when I saw this recipe it seemed fairly straight forward and I had everything at hand. Family is out doing Xmas stuff and I'm thinking treat. Heck....I just bought a new truck so I needed a reward. Buttermilk was fat free but made no difference. Only problem was it didn't float free as quick as I thought it would. Just shuffled it around a bit more and A-OK. Done!
This tort was great! My daughter-in-law came over and she is a baker and gave it a big thumbs up. Only change I made is a dollop to me looks like a mini mountain. Had some heavy cream so went for the real stuff.

One of the more critical steps is get the proper shape for your torts on the first try. Tort re-form is a bitch to pull off!
You never change things by fighting the existing reality.
To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.
