I love this recipe! It is so moist and delicious. I freeze cranberries in the fall so I can make this cake all year long!

I've been making this rich, sweet-tart cake for years now. A wonderful fall or winter dessert for the holidays. Excellent with a dollop of fresh whipped cream!

The sweet buttery cake and tangy cranberries are a perfect match for each other. I'm making it for my jewelry guild - they'll love it!
