FAQ:

Can I use frozen cranberries for this recipe?
Yes! Frozen cranberries work just as well as fresh. Just make sure to thaw them and pat them dry before folding them into the batter to avoid excess moisture in the cake.

Can I substitute the sour cream?
If you don’t have sour cream, you can substitute it with Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a similar tangy flavor and texture.

Can I make this cake ahead of time?
Absolutely! This bundt cake actually tastes even better the next day, as the flavors have more time to meld. It can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container.

Can I use a different nut instead of pecans?
Yes, walnuts or almonds are great substitutes for pecans in this recipe, giving it a different texture and flavor.
