Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. Frozen cranberries can also be used, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • To prevent the cake from sticking to the pan, grease and flour the pan thoroughly. You can also use a silicone baking mat.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking will make the cake dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cake cool completely before filling it. This will help to prevent the filling from seeping out.
  • For a smoother filling, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. You can also use a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.
  • Chill the cake roll for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the filling to set and make it easier to slice.
