My mother and sister are allergic to orange, but not lemon. So I substituted Lemon juice (from fresh lemons) for the orange juice and lemon zest from fresh lemons instead of the orange zest. There was also like 1/8 cup of lemon juice left over from getting the 1/2 cup needed for the sauce, so I used that as part of the 1 cup of water needed in the pound cake recipe. This turned out wonderful. My whole family ate it in one setting with the warm lemon sauce!!!

Hi, I took this recipe & gave it a BOOST!!!!!! I love the combination of cranberries & orange. I used the zest from a very large orange- the whole thing. Then I squeezed the juice from the orange into a measuring cup. Then put water in it to equal 1 cup. To that I added 1 tea. of vanilla. When you flip it over to take it out of the pan & its still pretty hot. You can sprinkle vanilla sugar over it. Or just dust it with the powder sugar after it cools. This is a keeper!

I haven't made it yet, but was wandering if I could use a can of cranberries that you serve at Christmas?

I used an orange cake mix and fresh cranberries, then made a thick glaze with powered sugar and fresh squeezed orange juice and a little milk. Delicious.

I made this cake at Christmas last year, and out of three other cakes at our family's gathering, this one went fastest. I used orange juice instead of water for more intenst orange taste and baked it in a 9"x13" pan. Yummy!!!

The cake tasted good, but I was disappointed by the fact that it tasted like cake made from the box. It only had a slight cranberry flavor; however, I did not make the sauce... maybe that was the problem with the lack in overall flavor. I do not think I will make this again. It wasn't a huge amount of work, but more than I want to do for something that tastes ordinary.

Super cake although I don't think it has the classic "pound cake" texture. Wonderfully moist. I used 1 Tablespoon of the grated orange peel and it added a more hearty orange flavor which we all loved. This is a great cake and I know I will be making it again soon!

Turned out moist, which was good. Tasted like something you'd want to eat for breakfast. I didn't think the powdered sugar was enough of a topping, but didn't want to even try the fattening orange sauce. I just a little regular frosting and drizzled it on, and it turned out good. Not my favorite cake recipe though...

Very good cake for the holidays! My family didn't believe I made it. I did have a problem with the glaze. It had so much butter in it that I couldn't bring myself to pour it on the cake so I threw it out. Instead I melted frosting in the microwave and drizzled a small amount over the cake. Will definitely make this one again!
