  Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. 

  Butter the bottom of an 8 1/2" by 4 1/2" by 2 1/2" loaf
  pan. Line the bottom with parchment paper, then butter
  and flour the pan.

  Combine the dates and orange liqueur in a small bowl and
  set aside for 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle
  attachment, beat the butter and brown sugar together on
  medium speed for 1 minute. Scrape down the bowl. With
  the mixer on low, add the egg, vanilla, and orange zest.

  Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda,
  cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt. With the mixer still
  on low, add the flour mixture alternately with the
  orange juice to the creamed mixture, beating only until
  combined. By hand, stir in the dates with their liquid,
  and the pecans.

  Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth
  the top. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes, until a toothpick
  comes out clean. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then
  turn out onto a wire rack and cool completely.

  Meanwhile, in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with
  the paddle attachment, cream the cream cheese, sugar,
  and orange zest on medium speed until just combined.

  Slice the bread and serve with the orange cream cheese
  on the side for spreading.
