  If dates are dry, soak to make them moist.  Chop squash in processor. Add 
  dates and orange zest. Blend well. Sift flour with baking powder, soda and 
  salt. Blend dry ingredients. Beat egg. Add yogurt, sugar and vanilla. Add 
  alternately dry mix and egg mix alternately to zucchini. Pour batter into 
  lightly greased and floured bundt pan. Bake at 350 about 45 minutes, or til 
  tests done.  Cool on wire rack 10 minutes. Unmold onto serving platter. If 
  using glaze, peirce top and sides with with toothpicks. Spoon glaze over 
  cake, allowing to soak in until cake is moist but not wet. Cool completely.

  Icing:  combine powdered sugar, cinnamon, orange juice and liqueur in bowl. 
  Mix til smooth.  Use immediately. 
   
  Orange Glaze: Stir together til smooth. 
   
  Note: Avoid using dry old dates. For slightly softer cake texture, add 2 
  Tbsp melted butter to batter before folding into squash. This will add 2 
  grams fat per serving. From: The Spectator....Aug 12/92 There is yellow 
  squash hidden in this cake, but you'd never guess it. It's delicate, 
  faintly sweet flavor blends right in. You can use crook neck, straight neck 
  or even yellow zucchini, but be sure to select young squach with soft, thin 
  skins. (why not green zucchini?) This cake, with its accent of chopped 
  dates, needs only a simple icing to dress it up To add extra moistness and 
  a sweet citrus flavour, poke all over the warm cake and pour optional glaze 
  over the cake til it soaks in.
