Really loved this cake, as did the rest of my family. I added 1/2 cup of Craisins to the batter because I wanted more cranberry flavor and it turned out great. The frosting is very soft but all I did was leave the cake in the fridge until I was ready to serve and the icing firmed up just fine.

This is a delicious recipe, great for Christmas or Thanksgiving. One thing I found, the amount of water wasn't listed in ingredaints, si I started off with 1/4 c. water,and increased it little by little until it was the correct consistancy of cake batter-which eneded up being about 1c. total of water.

Recipe is incomplete, no mention of water until directions. Frosting is soup, not "creamy or soft"

Excellent recipe! Everyone loved it-I decided to use 1/2 whole cranberry sauce and 1/2 jellied and I had no problems at all with the consistency of the frosting..It was so good in fact we used the leftover frosting on some other things.

I thought the cake was very good and so did others I served it too. I also felt the "frosting" was not very thick even though I did use the whole cranberry sauce, but I carefully spooned it on the first layer so it partially ran down the sides and did the same on top. I did not use it all, so put the rest in a container and people could use more if they liked. I'm wondering, since it calls for 1/4 c. sugar, maybe use 1/4 c. powdered sugar, if that would firm it up a little. Might try that the next time. A very pretty cake for the holiays.

This was super easy. I could not find cranberry applesauce in the store so I mixed canned cranberries with applesauce. I am sure the use of the applesauce instead of oil makes the cake slightly lower in fat. I anticipated the frosting being overly soft...but it wasn't. I used it to frost the entire cake....and it held up fine. I used the jellied cranberry sauce for the frosting not the kind with the whole berries....maybe this made the difference.
