I have made this two times in one week, it is so darn good!!! With cranberries in season, I thought this might be a good time to share. Trust me on this one, it is more than delicious! Nothing better than a piece of this and a cup of coffee.
Using a spring form pan is not a must, but I think you would have a hard time getting it out of a pan looking good.
