Prepare your baking pan. Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Use fresh or frozen cranberries. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake.
Bake the cranberry slices until they are set and the edges are golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Let the cranberry slices cool completely before frosting. This will help the frosting set properly.
