Barbara's Low Carb Christmas Cake

1 cup AS
1/2 cup butter or coconut oil
2 eggs
1/4 tsp. liquid AS
1/6 c. buttermilk
2-1/4 cups flour substitute (my favorite is Rao's "cake flour")
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon ginger
1/2 cup unsweetened dried cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3/4 cup chopped orange sections (I use canned drained Mandarin oranges chopped in the blender)

Topping: 1/2 cup chopped Mandarin oranges 1 cup AS

Cream AS & butter; stir in eggs, "liquid Splenda", chopped oranges, and buttermilk. In a separate bowl, mix flour sub, salt & soda; add cranberries, pecans, cinnamon, all-spice, and ginger. Mix well. Add to wet mixture gradually, mixing well after each addition. Place in a greased loaf pan. Bake in a preheated 300-degree oven for 1 hour or until tester comes out dry. Remove from oven; cool partially, remove from pan and place on serving dish.

Mix 1/2 cup oranges & 1 cup AS in saucepan; cook, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Brush over baked cake. Cool completely and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature or warm slightly to serve.
