how delicious. I may just have to try this recipe very soon…
It is really tasty! Let me know how it will turn out 🙂
This looks fantastic, especially if it can be made with cottage cheese! I love finding low fat alternatives in baking. Looking forward to reading more of your recipes, they look beautiful!
Hi! I love cottage cheese as well 🙂 Might you’ll find interesting the recipe of apple pie (with cottage cheese in it)

Thank you, I’ll have to check it out! Very cool 🙂
What a lovely cake this is Mila. I love those fresh, crisp colors, the red does pop out! I love the idea of the sliced almonds on the top, it really shows it off nicely. I’m repeating the recipe for our Thanksgiving here next week, but this time I’ll be adding the almonds on the top. 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
You should try this recipe as well, Loretta 🙂 the cake comes out very tender and delicious!
Hope you will have a bright and happy Thanksgiving Day! 🙂
Thanks Mila, with the cranberry cake, do you put the almonds on top before putting it in the oven? I’m thinking they may get too brown?
I put almonds before baking, they weren’t burnt but if they begin brown too much-cover the tin with a foil.
I have just fallen in love! I don’t know how I missed this post, but glad I saw it today!!
Better later than never)) I like this cake too!
