Sounds great ! I love Cranberries and orange in a cake or bread. Gonna make it for Christmas morning here too. ;o)


I'm planning on trying it out this holiday season! Have you ever made a loaf and put it in the freezer? I think I may make several cakes and give them to people.


Fantastic recipe! I made 4 cakes... one for home, one for work and 2 to give away. Everyone has been raving about them! Thanks!

For the glaze, I used orange juice and powdered sugar rather than granulated to make a pretty glaze on top. I also added dash of cinnamon, and almond and vanilla extract. YUM!
