Prepared somewhat like Baba au Rhum, this cake is soaked in syrup.

Sift the flour, measure and sift into a bowl with the sugar, salt,
baking powder, and soda. Stir in the nuts, dates, cranberries, and
orange peel. Combine the eggs, buttermilk, and salad oil; stir into
flour mixture until well blended. Pour into a well-greased 10- inch
tube pan; bake in a moderate oven (350ø) for 1 hour. Let stand about
15 minutes. Remove cake from pan and place on a rack over a pan. Heat
the sugar with orange juice until dissolved; pour over cake, catching
several times. Set cake in a deep dish, and pour over remaining
drippings.
