Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 cup water 2 teaspoons orange-blossom water

  • 1 stick unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for pan 1/2 teaspoon coarse salt 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus more for serving 1/2 cup sugar 3 large eggs, room temperature 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 1/2 cup buttermilk, room temperature 1 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped 1 cup dates, pitted and chopped

  • Whipped cream, lightly sweetened 3 oranges (such as navel and Cara Cara), segmented

Directions

Syrup: In a small saucepan, bring sugar and water to a simmer, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in orange-blossom water. Let cool.

Cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Brush bottom and sides of a standard 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with butter; coat with flour, tapping out excess.

Whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, then vanilla; beat until just combined. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 batches, alternating with buttermilk in 2 batches, beating until just combined. Fold in walnuts and dates.

Transfer batter to pan. Bake until golden brown and a skewer inserted in center comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove from oven; evenly pierce holes at 1-inch intervals in top of cake (all the way to bottom) with skewer, then pour syrup over cake. Let cool in pan.

Serving: Serve slices of cake with whipped cream dusted with cinnamon, and orange segments.
