Rich Orange Cream Cheese Pound Cake image

Moist, with a light orange flavor, I like to eat a loaf now and freeze a loaf for later. You might consider throwing in some dried cranberries. Don't skip the glaze on this one. From The Upham Hotel & Garden Cottages in Santa Barbara

I added a cup of chopped walnuts to the batter, and it gave the cake a nice crunchy texture.

I substituted Greek yogurt for the sour cream in this recipe, and it turned out great! The cake was still moist and flavorful.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my cake didn't turn out as moist as I would have liked. I think I might have overbaked it.

I'm not a huge fan of orange-flavored desserts, but this cake changed my mind. It's so light and refreshing, and the orange flavor is subtle but present.
