Alternatives:

2. One could use blueberries instead of cranberries. Replace cranberries with blueberries and orange juice with milk.
3. To change recipe into a pineapple coffeecake, use only one large egg. Replace cranberries with diced pineapple chunks which can be fresh or canned. Replace orange juice with 1 cup nonfat plain yogurt and ¼ cup canola oil.
