What a loss to new people who first come to this cookbook! It is my favorite recipe from this cookbook and I have made it hundreds times, but have altered it considerably by adding other fruits, such as fresh pears, and spices, such as cardamom, to make it into what I renamed a Fresh Fruit Cake, which I have sold at fairs and other venues. And yes, my copy of the Moosewood Cookbook is also stained on several pages, but most stained on the page which has the Cranapple Walnut Cake recipe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978443757016687648.post-63416010807266231482009-11-20T15:48:20.374-07:002009-11-20T15:48:20.374-07:00My older sisters gave me the original Moosewood Co...My older sisters gave me the original Moosewood Cookbook when I was a teenager and this recipe is without question my favorite and has been a family tradition ever since. I also make it for work occasions and it invariably goes faster than more common chocolate goodies. <br /><br />I use more spices than the original recipe, but otherwise it's the same. HIGHLY recommended!goobqueenhttp://twitter.com/goobqueennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978443757016687648.post-54574435366700580132009-11-09T21:58:11.041-07:002009-11-09T21:58:11.041-07:00I've had the original Moosewood Cookbook since...I've had the original Moosewood Cookbook since the early 80s and the page w/ the Cran apple walnut cake recipe is the most stained and wrinkled since it's our family's annual holiday favorite!! I don't know why the Moosewood folks took it out of the new edition. I also like how the old edition has handwritten recipes and cute drawings. <br /><br />This has always been one of those desserts that tastes WAY better than it looks. I hope more people will try it now that you've posted it.

I love this cake as is!<br /><br />Anon October, that's so frustrating! I try not to loan things out anymore...and since you've reminded me, today just might be the perfect Fall day for another Cran-Apple Walnut Cake! Enjoy!Minhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986834387220176195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978443757016687648.post-48129618808700716922009-10-24T09:43:29.675-06:002009-10-24T09:43:29.675-06:00You made my day!

Every time the weather turns chilly I want to make this cake, but loaned out my original Moosewood Cookbook and didn't get it back and have been looking everywhere for an older edition with this recipe!! Thank you so much for posting :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1978443757016687648.post-49890371118522626732009-01-03T20:31:00.000-07:002009-01-03T20:31:00.000-07:00I like this cake too and was disappointed to find ...I like this cake too and was disappointed to find it was not in the newer addition, which I purchased after loosing my original (I think it fell in the trash basket). Anyway thanks for sharing. BTW you can chop the cranberries for a slightly different outcome. Also, for special occasions, I am inclined to drizzle a Lemon Glaze over it: Blend 1 cup confectioners sugar, 1 1/2 Tbs lemon juice, 1/2 tsp vanilla and 1 Tbs corn syrup until smooth. Drizzle over cooled cake.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
