Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries for the best flavor and texture. If fresh cranberries are unavailable, frozen cranberries can be used.
- To prevent the cranberries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them with a little bit of flour before adding them to the batter.
- Chop the pecans into small pieces so that they are evenly distributed throughout the cake.
- Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in a tough, dense cake.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven. A preheated oven will help the cake to rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
