Cranberry Pomegranate Pound Cake With Orange Cream Cheese Glaze – holiday flavors, festive. fluffy and delicious.Cranberry-Pomegranate-Pound-Cake- With-Orange-Cream-Cheese-Glaze-Recipe

The combination of fluffy pound cake, tart cranberries, orange and pomegranate makes this cranberry pomegranate pound cake perfect for the holidays. And because it looked a little plain, I added a citrusy orange cream cheese frosting.

How was your weekend? Mine fast awesome, I had some great time Downtown Chicago on Friday and Saturday, but yesterday we got into a car accident. Our car got hit, nobody was hurt, but the car needs to be fixed. So today’s post will be short, because I’ve got too many things going on. I guess when it rains it pours! Can anyone else relate to that?

Now on this gorgeous cranberry pomegranate pound cake! I made it two days ago and now it is gone. It was so good! I love bundt cakes, because they are so easy to make and always look great.

This cake will be the perfect addition to your holiday menu, any party or potluck.

I adapted the recipe from my Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake Recipe, which I often make for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I hope you like it!
