Tips:

  • Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet orange flavor of Grand Marnier. If you can't find fresh cranberries, you can use frozen cranberries, but be sure to thaw them before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool completely before glazing it. This will help the glaze to set properly.
  • Serve the cake with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of ice cream. This will add a touch of sweetness and richness to the cake.
