Tuscan Sun Orange Cranberry Cake image

This recipe came to be through much trial and error. Growing up, my family used farina flour in desserts, and I thought it would lend a nice texture to this cake. It's an Old World Italian-style cake, delicious but not too sweet. The orange-cranberry combination is perfect! -Ninette Holbrook, Orlando, Florida
