So much like my recipe CRANBERRY RIPPLE CAKE recipe #63302. I did use 16 ounce can. Skipped the glaze no need for it at all. Silly me should have read all the directions first. Take note of mixing the dry ingriedents,Do not mix all dry as stated in step 4. save the sugar to cream with the butter. I ended up mixing all dry (which I added fresh grated nutmeg)then pulsed the butter in the food processor adding the wet mixed then pulsed the dry. Used pecans instead becuase thats what I had on hand. And it came out scrumptious!

I followed the directions EXACTLY but when I spread the cranberry sauce then topped with the remaining batter, the cranberry sauce sank and causing it to become soggy on the bottom :(
