These are soft fluffy orange flavored cakes with the juice from fresh oranges. You can stop here or go on and throw in some cranberry and pistachio to boost the flavor. The combination of orange cranberry and pistachio is just heavenly and complement each other every well.
This make one loaf pan.
These makes great breakfast slices or bake it in a regular cake pan to frost or glaze.
I usually use my glass loaf pan to bake the cakes.
I also like to use mini aluminum pans for take away and makes great gifts as well.
