Jose Baker
moist, delicious, crunchy on top and cranberry layer adds the right tartness
Michael Dickerson
This turned out excellent. I added a teaspoon of vanilla to the batter, and half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon to the topping. Very simple recipe that makes a delicious cake!
Melanie Stewart
Yum! I think next time I’ll add another tablespoon of butter to allow it to get crispier because it is a tiny dry, (I also didn’t wait for my butter to warm up though so that might be user error) but it is a delicious way to use fresh cranberries! I also added some cinnamon to the topping and it was very yummy!
William Sandoval
This was really excellent, delicious, pretty and easy! I did add 1T lemon zest to the batter, but otherwise kept recipe as written.

Crunchy layer on the top followed by a layer of tart cranberries in a perfectly flavored cake. I needed to cook mine an extra 5 minutes. Served warm as written. So good!
