  1. Please clarify the directions in step #8…it looks like something got omitted. Thanks in advance – sounds luscious!

  2. I can’t find fresh cranberries anywhere now that the Holidays are done. How do you think it would be with Cherries (I have some frozen) or fresh currants?

    Reply

    • Hi Stacy, you can make them with dried cranberries too. Frankly I have not made them with frozen berries so don’t know how it will turn out :)

  3. I made this on Christmas day, and I am sorry to say it never got cooked. Should it be 1 cup of chopped cranberries instead of I cup cranberries chopped? That is the only think I can think of that would cause it to be so moist. It was also super oily. I really want to make this and would love your help in figuring what went wrong. Also used BRM 1 to 1 Flour Blend. Thanks!

    • HI Vicky ,I am so sorry to hear that 😣 I have made it with whole cranberries. So I don’t think that’s the issue! Lots of reader’s have tried and have made it successfully.. so all I can think of is the IP ..I have used ultra . I will be making this in my duo and try to find out what the issue is. Thanks again for trying it and sharing your feedback with us. Happy Holidays ❤️

  4. It is cooking in my IP as I type this. I have a couple of questions. You mention xanthan gum in the blog part but there is no mention in the recipe. Also, in the written instructions you mention adding orange zest and orange juice twice (steps 3, 4, and 5). I added the zest with the dry ingredients and the orange juice with the wet ingredients as done in the video. I do not use oil. I elected to substitute aquafaba for the oil in the recipe. I did lightly spray my bundt pan. I will let you know!

    Reply

    • Hi Linda, Thanks for letting me know about the orange zest mentioned twice in the recipe card. Will correct it! One of our readers did try it with aquafaba and I am excited to try myself. Don’t worry if the top of the cake looks like jelled. It’s due to the steam . Just insert a toothpick and check if the cake is done.
      Keep us posted.

      • It turned out beautifully. I found an old ceramic Bundt Cake pan in my cupboard. I have had it over 50 years and used it for the first time for this cake. That was part of my concern. All was perfect. I can’t figure out how to send the picture.

    • Hi Richard, the quantity fits perfectly in a 6 inch pan.. The batter may overflow if you use a smaller pan. You may cut the recipe to half if you want to use a 4 inch Bundt pan and umyes the time remains the same. Do share your feedback with us :)

  7. This looks delicious and I happen to have fresh cranberries in my fridge, but I don’t have a Bundt Pan for my 6 quart instant pot. I have a cheesecake pan and a pot in pot can I use either of these?

    Reply

    • Hi Sharon,Yes you can use sour cream but remember cranberries are tart and sour cream is too. So the cake might be on A tart side :)

  13. This is exactly what I have been looking for-thank you! My only problem is I cannot eat coconut oil….can I substitute olive oil?

    Reply

    • Hi Mary , yes you can add any flavorless oil. That will work too :) do share tour feedback with us after you bake it❤️

      Reply

    • Hi Bronwyn, Yes it will definitely work just give it a ruff chop if you want to or throw in the flour as it is. Eagerly waiting for your feedback ❤️

  25. Oh thank you for the tip about freezing it! That’s my biggest problem with desserts like this – we make it and then eat it all just the two of us too fast. Lol. Now we can make it and enjoy it for awhile – thank you!
