  1. Yes, the kitchen smells nice. Yes, it's a great loaf to make. It turned out perfect and tasted even better! I used dried cranberries and will try it with raisins next time. It probably would be nice with other fresh or dried fruit too. A very versatile recipe. Made only one little change from the directions. Did not grease my loaf pan but put in parchment paper instead. Easy to lift out the cake after baking and easy to peel off, just a personal (lazy) preference. This is very much a keeper. Thanks for posting.
     
  2. Very easy to make and yes the kitchen smells so very good. Very good recipe and I will try the other combinations you suggested I really liked the fact that its using staples and I didnt have to run out and buy anything. Thank you its a keeper.
     
  3. I had to give it 5 stars because the local bakery sells this and I really wanted to have it home with little to no cost. I keep all the ingredients on hand except for the oranges, but those aren't expensive. I did make final changes to after it's baked. I poked random hole in it with a toothpick and brushed on a good quality orange juice until soaked in, and then made an orange glaze using some more oj and orange extract. Stir in with confectioner's sugar, and then pour on top to heart's desire. Not too sweet, but the glaze helped with that. If you're using dried cranberries like I did, soak them in hot water first to swell them up. So good.
     
  4. I made this loaf with fresh raspberries instead of the cranberries. The loaf turned out excellent. It was mosit and perfect texture and the kitchen smelled great. I made as mini loafs and they were all gone within a day. I will be making again.
     
  5. I substituted the all-purpose flour with white spelt flour, the egg with half a banana and the butter with margerine. The loaf was excellent! I'll definitely make this again.
