This time of year in Florida is my happy time! Not only is it the beginning of our Second Summer it’s also when the citrus season gets into full bloom. Of course, I do get my citrus fix every day of the year with what I like to call my “Liquid Florida Sunshine” aka Noble Juice! I’ve been working with Noble for over a year now and couldn’t be happier with their products. So although this is a sponsored post

As always I get started by gathering my ingredients aka mise en place.

This was a pretty easy cake to make and the glaze added an extra layer of orangy flavor to the cake!

It really is a wonderful pound cake recipe, pretty simple and adapts easily if you wanted to use something other than cranberries. Pecans would have been a nice addition!
