As recommended, I scattered the frozen berries on top of batter, baked up picture perfect with a wonderful not too sweet flavor. Cake was tender yet dense enough to hold its' shape nicely when serving. I especially like that this cake bakes flat, allowing the fruit to shine through for a stunning presentation. Thanks for sharing this recipe, looking forward to trying many more fruits and maybe a pie filling in the future!Sweet Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519938836522292479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-85906135102381536652011-10-14T10:57:10.984-07:002011-10-14T10:57:10.984-07:00I made this with homemade cranberry sauce in a 9x1...I made this with homemade cranberry sauce in a 9x13 and it turned out excellent!theBreedveldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04522892500917202495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-35112321671551255662011-10-14T01:58:14.500-07:002011-10-14T01:58:14.500-07:00Sharon, shortening is 100% fat, butter only 80%.

If you use butter you need to increase it by 20% and decrease the liquid. It can be tricky. You can also use oil 1:1 for shortening in many recipes, and it might work in this one.Anne/kqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16196525565601253852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6454531829676162260.post-49380622381194861282011-10-12T14:17:53.395-07:002011-10-12T14:17:53.395-07:00Thanks for clearing up the size issue.

Isn't it interesting the differences in generic terms like small cookie sheet. We have all grown up with different things and then you throw in the Canadian/American difference in ingredients sometimes...gets a bit tricky. But I so enjoy coming here for ideas.
