• For the Cake:
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• Kitchen tipTo make quick work of chopping cranberries, place whole berries in a food processor and pulse a few times until the berries are coarsely chopped. Kitchen noteA nonreactive pan—stainless steel, enamel-coated or glass—is necessary when cooking acidic foods, such as cranberries, to prevent the food from reacting with the pan. Reactive pans, such as aluminum and cast-iron, can impart an off color and/or off flavor in acidic foods.
