Tips:
- Choose fresh cranberries: Look for cranberries that are plump and firm, with a deep red color. Avoid cranberries that are soft or have bruises.
- Prepare the cranberries: Rinse the cranberries thoroughly under cold water and then pat them dry with paper towels. If the cranberries are large, you can cut them in half.
- Measure the ingredients carefully: This is especially important for the spices, as too much of one spice can overpower the others.
- Use a bundt pan: A bundt pan will give the cake a beautiful shape and help it to cook evenly.
- Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool before glazing: This will help the glaze to set properly.
