"A great cake for the fall cranberry season. I always have cranberries in the freezer (I stock up in the fall) and just thaw what I need for baking anytime of the year. This cake can be glazed with your favorite sugar glaze, or make glaze with powdered sugar and orange juice."

One of my favourite recipes on food.com, at first I was a little worried the tartness of the fresh cranberries would leave this cake lacking in sweetness, but I was wrong the dates definitely took care of that. The flavours were well balanced a glaze is not necessary at all!

Absolutely delicious! So festive looking and everyone loved it! Only change I made was to substitute dried cranberries for the dates!

Absolutely delicious! This cake is the reason why I freeze fresh cranberries for use all year long. The combination of the dates and cranberries is wonderful and the smell while the cake is baking is fabulous. Will definitely make this cake again and again! Made for the Football Pool, September 2013.

I made this with some extra fresh cranberries that I had remaining from the holidays. Super great cake. It has a nice density that makes it heavy and filling and the fruits and nuts give it a pleasing consistency and flavor.<br/>Recommended. Thanks for sharing.

Very tasty! I added some orange zest & subbed peanuts for the walnuts because one of my friends is very allergic to tree nuts. I'd prefer the walnuts, but it was still very good. And easy!
