I’ve had problems like yours – but sometimes it still tastes okay with butter and some glaze helps- as long as it still is nicely baked and not raw…

Funny that it led you on…

…and yet it was so beautiful on Photograzing.

Sorry it wasn’t what you had hoped!

Ah I saw this picture when I was reading your blog and thought “wow this looks great, and I have some cranberries I need to use” but after reading about your disappointment, I too was disappointed.

You have great pictures though even if it’s a sub-par recipe!

Ellen: I just fished your comment out of my spam filter. (Your other one was in there too.) Sorry about that! Thanks for the link! Looks great.

Thanks, everyone, for the sympathy and suggestions.

Rachel Lake, Amy, Whitney: Thanks for the links! I’m excited to try again.

Gena: You’re too kind. Also, yay for Alex making the chowder. He sounds like a catch—you should probably marry him in a couple weeks. : )

I feel like it’s weird to use cranberries chopped up with sugar – maybe they wanted it to be quick so they didn’t suggest you macerate the cranberries?

Boo to bad recipes! But yay to you for moving on so quickly!

I’m not trying to rub it in, I promise, it’s the coffee cake’s fault not yours…but why does your cake look so different from the one on the recipe website?

I’m convinced that the recipe people post pictures of good recipes then post bad ones just to upset people and send them into a bad coffee cake mode. I hate when that happens!

Bad coffecake, BAD! You should know better than to disappoint Kristin, who gives only love and the best ingredients to her recipes.

Better luck next time. How about a lemon pound cake with part of the batter mixed with some of that cranberry/sugar mixture, then swirled into layers before baking? And maybe leave the cranberries a little wetter?

I don’t know much about this cranberry thing, but leave my birthday cake alone. It was g.o.r.g.e.o.u.s. and glorious. Of the 28 birthday that have been baked/bought in my honor-this was the best.
