Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cake tough.
- For a moister cake, use buttermilk instead of milk.
- To make sure the cake is cooked through, insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
