DIFFICULTY LEVEL:
I’d give this recipe a 2 out of 3 for difficulty. Like most cakes, this recipe was simple and easy. Cookingformysoul’s directions were easy to follow and straightforward. A foolproof loaf cake recipe.
WHAT I WOULD CHANGE NEXT TIME?
I’d reduce the number of cranberries in this recipe. I found them to be a bit overpowering. Honestly, when eating this cake, I picked out most of the cranberries so that I had the cranberry taste without it being too much.
WOULD I MAKE IT AGAIN?
That’s a resounding yes. I think I’ll even use this recipe to make other flavors. The cake recipe was that good.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
As someone who lived on cranberry juice in my early 20’s, it’s surprising that this is my first dessert with cranberries in it. And let me just say I was pleasantly surprised. I loved this orange cranberry pound cake and would make it again with the minor adjustment above.
