TUSCAN SUN ORANGE CRANBERRY CAKE

Tuscan Sun Orange Cranberry Cake image

This recipe came to be through much trial and error. Growing up, my family used farina flour in desserts, and I thought it would lend a nice texture to this cake. It's an Old World Italian-style cake, delicious but not too sweet. The orange-cranberry combination is perfect! -Ninette Holbrook, Orlando, Florida
