Grate the orange zest and squeeze out the juice. Heat the orange juice and soak the pitted dates in it (this is not necessary for soft dates). When the dates are soft enough, strain them and collect the liquid (orange juice). Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff. Purée the egg yolks, softened butter, dates, and 100 ml of orange juice. Mix the purée with the dry ingredients and finally carefully fold in the beaten egg whites. Pour the batter into a prepared baking dish of your choice. Bake for approx. 35-40 minutes at 180°C. Test with a skewer for doneness.
