RECIPE TIPS AND FAQ’S:

How to make the cranberry swirl? Be sure to not get close to the cake batter edge. Leave at least a 1/2-inch space to the border. If you add less cranberry sauce, you could gently give it a swirl with a butter knife when you add the 2nd part of cake batter. I’ve made it both ways: with a swirl and without. And sometimes it creates it’s own swirly design even without me touching it.
