Is the 1 cup of brown sugar packed? I know you’re through on you recipe descriptions and it’s likely NOT packed…I just had to ask in case.
No, it’s not packed. Thanks!!
I’m trying this tomorrow. Can I substitute canned crushed cranberries or maybe do half and half?
I’ve only made it the way the recipes says, but I think that may work.
Can this be made as mini Bundt cakes?
I think you could, but I’ve never tried it. You would have to adjust the cooking time.
Any replacement for cranberry jelly ?
Dried or fresh cranberries would work?
No, I don’t think that would work. This isn’t a recipe I would try to alter, the moisture in the jellied cranberry is part of the cake.
Looks interesting and easy… thank you
This cake looks delicious! Can gluten free flour or a gluten free flour blend be substituted for the all purpose flour and would other changes be needed to be made to the recipe? Thanks.
I havent tried it, but I would say you probably could. I have used King Arthur GF flour in the past.
I always wonder if you should sift the flour before measuring.
I didn’t when making this cake and it turned out great.
