- Use fresh or frozen cranberries. Fresh cranberries are available in the fall and winter months, while frozen cranberries are available year-round. If using frozen cranberries, thaw them before using.
- Chop the cranberries finely. This will help them distribute evenly throughout the coffee cake batter.
- Use ripe pears. Ripe pears will be sweet and juicy, which will add flavor and moisture to the coffee cake.
- Peel the pears before chopping them. This will make them easier to eat and will also help to prevent the coffee cake from browning too much.
