It’s funny that I bake with Cranberries so much now, being that they are my least favorite berry; but I keep coming across recipes with flavors that sounds so great that I have to make them. This recipe is one of those great recipes; the pound cake is one of the best I’ve ever made. I enjoy cranberries mixed with orange flavoring but it didn't come over strong enough for me in this recipe actually. Delicious cake will definitely make again; I will just add more orange flavoring the next time. J
