Espresso Pound Cake with Cranberries

Yesterday, I decided to bake something, apart from the CQ, I wanted something that could combine with a glass of cold milk and also that could enhance the flavor of coffee... so I came across this recipe.
Let me tell you it was a huge success here at home, it lasted just one day, well actually 12 hours!
I used a mold that was donut-shaped, but as a result i came with a smaller pound cake, well it was not so tall because the recipe doesn't rise a lot.You can see in the pictures.
But here is the original recipe, I made some changes and the result was ---------->
so feel free to change everything you like! :D

This recipe comes from Bon appètit, March 2011.
