    My son's teacher keeps sending him home with bags of oranges. Like lots and lots of oranges. I think in the past month we've gotten more than 4 dozen. Now, I'm sure he is asking for them and they're probably leftovers from their morning snack or something, but I can't figure out why she thinks we need sooooo many. My son likes them, but he only eats about one per week. So I've been trying to convince him to let me make marmalade ever since we saw Paddington 2 at the theater. Perhaps I will start my own marmalade business if I can just figure out how to get the teacher to send home bags and bags of sugar along with the fruit. This cake is the product of my son's overabundant orange supply and his constant complaints about how I always bake chocolate things (because he hates chocolate). He wasn't very keen on the cranberries, but he gives the cake 2 thumbs up with cranberries picked out. That's about all I can ask for.

    This recipe is also featured in the winter issue of Food Life Magazine, which is out this week!
