Followed the recipe as written with one exception. I did not add sugar as there is sugar in the cake mix, and confectioners sugar added to the sweetness; Apart from that, two loaves baked perfectly. They will be sold, (along with other goodies) on Sunday during the Sunday School Children's bake sale.

my thing is to cut down on fat and calories when i can. for this recipe, i used 3/4 c cranberries, left out the 1/4 c sugar as there is sugar in the mix, substituted skim milk and fat free cm cheese. last thing was 3 eggs. i don't know what the actual recipe tastes like but mine was really quite good. had the neighbours over for tea, they had seconds soooo, nuff said

I recently made this recipe and it turned out really nice. I actually had a hard time trying to find FRESH cranberries at this time of year. So i looked for frozen ones...couldn't find any either. So i bought some dried ones like u put into salads. I just soaked them in some cranberry juice for about an hour. then drained off the juice from them and used them that way. the only thing i FORGOT to do was to coat them with Flour so they wouldn't SINK to the bottom of the batter! lol. It still turned out really nice. would def make this one again.

As for making muffins.. you can use this for cupcakes but muffins should be a thicker batter. I add 1/2 tsp lemon extract to batter.

Could this recipe easily be converted to muffins.

Why not! I'm thinking of using a bunt pan.
