Moist, with a light orange flavor, I like to eat a loaf now and freeze a loaf for later. You might consider throwing in some dried cranberries. Don't skip the glaze on this one. From The Upham Hotel & Garden Cottages in Santa Barbara

Five stars all the way.I too was intrigued when I read the recipe. I've been making cakes for over 50 years and this is a new favorite. I only glazed half. The un-glazed half is for toasting for breakfast. A slice in the toaster oven and woweee is it good. Thanks for a great treat.

This is a pretty darn good cake! I realised too late, that I forgot to put the glace on before I cut into it. It just smelled so good while baking I couldn't wait to try it. So moist and had a nice orange flavor. I baked it in a bindt type pan. Next time I'll remember to add the glace. :)

This is a very nice, soft and orangy poundcake. I added 1 cup chocolate chips and 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the batter. I baked mine in a bundt pan. I made a syrup glaze instead of the icing by mixing 1 cup superfine sugar with the juice and zest of 1 orange and I microwaved it for 1 minute. Yum! Made for 1-2-3 hit wonders.
