Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup buttermilk
1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
1 cup chopped dates
1 cup chopped pecans
GLAZE:
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup sugar
Optional: Sugared cranberries and rosemary sprigs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°. In a bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add eggs; beat well. Combine dry ingredients; add to creamed mixture alternately with buttermilk. Stir in cranberries, dates and pecans. Spread in a greased and floured 10-in. tube pan. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 60-70 minutes. Cool in pan for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, for glaze, heat orange juice and sugar in a small saucepan until sugar dissolves. Invert cake onto a serving plate. With a toothpick, punch holes in cake. Spoon glaze over cake. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours. If desired, top with sugared cranberries and rosemary.
