I am not much of a baker but I am going to give this recipe a try! I love the idea of pecans stirred in with the cranberries! (11/06/2009)

RE: Cranberry Cake

I made this and its delicious! Everyone ate it all in less than 2 minutes. I thought I did something wrong as it came out more like a scone than a fluffy cake, but whatever I did it really worked! I also was out of pecans so I used walnuts which worked fine too. YUM! Thanks for the recipe! (11/24/2009)
