Notes & Options:
There are lots of ways to modify this cranberry cake to spice it up, down or just change it to suit your palate. You can try:
– Adding nuts to make it crunchier. Use walnut pieces or chopped almonds and sprinkle them in with the cranberries before pouring the batter into the pan.
– Add 1/2 tsp each of nutmeg and ginger if you want it holiday spicy-like.
– Half the cranberries if you find them too tart, although that’s what most people like about using fresh cranberries, the tartness combined with sweet.
– Fresh berries are always best, but frozen ones work just as well as long as you thaw them and drain the excess cranberry juice first.
Make it Healthy – Replace the sugars with granulated sweetener. Replacing this one ingredient (sugar) will turn this recipe into a healthy, sugar-free delight instead of a dessert.
