This is a really delicious cake recipe that I clipped a few years ago from Homemakers Magazine. The sweet white chocolate is a nice contrast to the tart cranberries and orange.

Overall, this cake was a success. The cranberries and white chocolate chips added a nice flavor and texture. However, the cake was a bit too dry for my taste.

This cake was a disaster! It was dry and crumbly, and the cranberries and white chocolate chips were burnt. I would not recommend this recipe.

Not bad, but not great. The cake was a bit dry and the cranberries were a bit tart. I think I would have preferred a different recipe.

This cake was a disappointment. It was dry and crumbly, and the cranberries and white chocolate chips were not evenly distributed. I would not recommend this recipe.
