3/25/2011 This came out very nice. It was moist and not not overly sweet. I did make a couple modifications after mixing the batter and before adding the cranberries and nuts I divided the batter into 3 bowls. In one bowl I added the cranberries and nuts as per the recipe, in one of the bowls I only added the cranberries as my daughter can be finicky about what gets nuts and what doesn't, and in the last bowl I substituted dried cherries and no nuts since my son has issues with cranberries and nuts. (Sometimes, I just think they like to see how far they can push me.) In any case all three variations were gobbled up pretty quickly.
