Gluten Free Apple Cranberry Cake

This recipe is adapted from glutenfreegoddess.blogspot.com. I first made it for a friend who had been recently diagnosed with Celiac's but have since made it a number of times (with great reviews) for myself and my friends. Thanks to the flavor from the fruit and all the different spices, no one ever guesses that it is entirely gluten-free. It tastes like a spice cake, is low-fat, and looks great. For the ingredients I go to wholefoods, but you'll find them at most specialty food stores.
