Personal Notes:
Needless to say, I make a lot of these coffee cakes during cranberry harvest. And I make sure there are frozen cranberries in the freezer for the rest of the year as this coffee cake is traditional for our holiday get togethers. P.S. Don't cheat on the unbleached flour - bleached all purpose just doesn't work as well - use King Arthur's "unbleached all purpose" flour for best results.
