I made several changes: brown sugar instead of white, no orange zest, vanilla extract instead of orange extract, and I glazed it with water/powdered sugar instead of OJ/sugar--some people complain that the cake tastes too much like orange and not enough like cranberries, so this is how I solved it!

I made this in a 9x13 pan and sprinkled powdered sugar on top once cooled. Perhaps if I had used a bundt or tube pan it would have seemed more like a dessert cake instead of a snack cake. Though it contains alot of flavorful ingredients, I was surprised that it didn't turn out to be that tasty. I won't be making this one again.

This is a good, moist cake, but didn't have any flavor of cranberry or orange.

This was alright, just a little disappointing...seemed to missing something?? Won't make again when theres so many other cranberry recipes to try or make again.

This cake is absolutely delicious and my Son-In-Law says the house smells like Christmas when I bake it.

This was good, but not wonderful. I used a bundt pan and it made a beautiful cake. I just don't know if I'd make it again.

This delicious cake takes no time to whip together since all of the ingredients mix in one bowl. The only change that I made was folding in a handful (about 1/2 cup) of fresh cranberries with the walnuts. I think the tanginess complimented the other flavors in this recipe quite well and it looked beautiful when sliced. Thanks for an awesome recipe!
