  • I doubled the zest and added more cranberries and some walnuts as another reviewer suggested. Delicious! It also stayed perfectly moist even though I baked it 9 hours ahead to take to a dinner party. Kids and adults loved it! Will definitely make again.

  • This cake is a hit in my house. I've made it several times and find the flavor and the crumb excellent. I've modified it by using fresh cranberries and that is wonderful too.

  • Googled this recipie because it had more baking powder than usual so I wanted to double check before making the cake... Reead the 2 reviews... I added a little more orange juice as one review suggested... (Note: adding more orange juice ruined the consistency... Cake wouldn't bake properly.) Also recipe should specify to only fill the pans about 1/2 full at most... I was using mini bunt pans and despite leaving space to rise, they spilled all over... Flavor is so-so. Should have just looked on line and tried a recipe with 4 stars. Days of collecting magazine recipies are over...

  • Recipe needs more cranberries. There are so few in it now. I would triple the amount.

  • I made this for our Christmas dessert and it was a big hit. I modified it by adding 1/4 cup more of orange juice and zest to the cake. I also added chopped walnuts, which I was told really made the cake. I ended up baking the cake for about 10 minutes longer than it called for in the recipe. I also double the glaze recipe and added orange zest to it.
