Gluten Free Cranberry Orange Cake is another success in my gluten free cakes series. I am loving this series and my family is loving all the cake they get to eat.
This gluten free cranberry orange cake is perfect for this time of year. It would be delicious for a holiday brunch or lunch. Really it would work for just about any holiday meal or dessert, because it is a cake, but it is also a quick bread which makes it work for so many things.
Just like last week’s recipe, the citrus in this works perfectly with this gluten free cake. The orange juice adds a lot of flavor, but it also helps the texture as well.
