Lemon Ginger Oatmeal Cake W/Cranberries image

This cake is another outstanding recipe from Food & Drink, LCBO magazine in Canada. AND it is a health concious recipe as well. The magazine notes that it could be served for breakfast as well. It works great in muffins, too. You can omit the cranberries - or sub with raisin etc - If you are not a fan of cranberries, but they really do add a certain something. You can add 1 tsp of vinegar to regular milk and let it sit for 5 min if you do not have buttermilk.

This cake is a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. It's also a healthier alternative to traditional cakes.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake turned out really dry. I think I might have overcooked it.
