This is a good cake! Although I prefer chocolate desserts I like this cake, and I wont even try to say how much my mom and older sister like it. I have made a few adjustments to the recipe and now they like it even better. I use 3/4 cup margarine instead of 1 cup butter, I use about 3/4 cup wheat flour with 1 1/2 cups white flour, and I substitute plain yogurt for sour cream. Also, After I grease the pan (I usually use a spring-form pan) I sprinkle the bottom of the pan with about 1/2 cup sliced almonds. (I do not use the walnuts) Then I layer as the recipes says, except after I put on the cranberry sauce I sprinkle about 1/3 cup of oats. My mom and sister always request this cake for their birthday. Thank you!
