Orange Pound Cake with Cranberry Compote image

My husband and I enjoy dessert but not all of the fat and calories that go with it. This pound cake is made lighter with Greek yogurt. You will never miss that extra fat in taste or texture.-Ann Goncheroski, Wilkes Barre, Pennsylvania.

I would give this cake a 3 out of 5 stars. It was good, but not great. I would probably make it again if I was in a pinch, but I wouldn't go out of my way to make it.

Overall, I thought this cake was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special either. I probably wouldn't make it again.

I had some trouble getting the cake to cook evenly. The edges were overcooked while the center was still undercooked. I think I may have needed to adjust the oven temperature.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the cake batter next time.

I thought the cake was a bit bland. I would recommend adding some spices, such as cinnamon or nutmeg, to the batter next time.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would have preferred a lighter, fluffier cake.

I thought the cake was a bit dry, but the cranberry compote helped to moisten it up. I would recommend using a bundt pan instead of a loaf pan next time.

I had some trouble getting the cake to rise properly. I think I may have overmixed the batter. But the flavor was still good.
