This is really really good! Super moist and very flavorful. I had to substitute POM Pomegranate blueberry juice for the Pomegranate juice the recipe calls for. I also used 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice instead of cinnamon because that is what I had on hand. I again cheated and cooked mine in two loaf pans as I didn't have a tube pan but it still came out great. Personally I would leave the glaze off, as it is super sweet and almost detracts from the flavor of the cake. It does add some pretty color so if you do add it, add it sparingly for a nice pop without the sickly sweet.
