Notes

This recipe has not been tested with frozen cranberries. Use fresh cranberries for the best taste. Frozen cranberries release more liquid into the batter, which can cause longer baking time or a chewy texture.

Use a neutral oil with little flavor an aroma to keep the coffee cake flavor balanced.
