For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the topping. Simply cook the butter until it turns a nutty brown color before adding the brown sugar.
If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw them before adding them to the pan.
To prevent the cake from sticking, grease the bottom of the springform pan with butter before adding the brown sugar mixture.
This cake is best served warm or at room temperature on the day it is baked.

    The cake was a little too sweet for my taste, so I reduced the sugar slightly, and it was perfect.

  • Lucious Hills

    The cranberries give it a nice tartness that balances the sweetness of the cake.
