Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 10x15 inch jellyroll pan.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, 1/2 cup butter, water and dates. Cook, stirring frequently until dates have softened and the mixture is well blended. Remove from heat. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; stir into the date mixture, then mix in the 1/4 cup orange juice, milk, eggs and 1 tablespoon orange zest. Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. To make the frosting, combine the confectioners' sugar, 1/3 cup butter, cream cheese and orange zest. Beat until smooth. Gradually mix in the remaining orange juice a tablespoon at a time until the icing is spreadable. Spread over the bars when cool. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Seperate the egg whites from yolks you will need both in this recipe.
• Cream shortening and sugar together. Add egg yolks, mix well.
• Add enough flour to make a stiff batter. Then add remaining ingredients and mix well.
• Pour in a greased jelly roll pan(deep cookie pan) and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minute.
• To make frosting: beat the egg whites till fluffy, set aside. Stir water and karo syrup in sauce pan and cook until it reaches soft ball stage, approx 7 minute Pour over the egg whites beating all the time. Until it is light and fluff then beat in the vanilla.

• 3. Add baking soda to water.

• 6. To make frosting add brown sugar, milk and butter to a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Remove from heat and add powdered sugar to thicken. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla. Frost the cake immediately while frosting is warm. Spread as you pour. Frosting sets fast and is hard to spread otherwise. I can not see why you can not frost while the cake is still warm. It might make it easier! Just a tip.
