Recipe Notes

Fresh or frozen

The cranberry harvest in North America takes place between September and November, so for most of the year, the cranberries you find on the shelf will be frozen. Frozen cranberries will last for up to a year in your freezer. If you use fresh cranberries for this cake, the moisture level may decrease slightly, which may result in a slightly shorter cooking time.
