Description

The best! A simple cake, but the secret is really in the sauce. This is great for the holidays! Also doubles well into an 11×15 pan for a large get-together.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Flour
  • 4 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ½ teaspoons Salt
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 1-½ cup Sugar
  • 1-½ teaspoon Vanilla
  • 1-½ cup Milk
  • 3 cups Chopped Fresh Cranberries
  • ¾ cups Butter
  • 1-¼ cup Sugar
  • ¾ cups Evaporated Milk Or Heavy Cream

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Combine the first 3 ingredients (flour through salt) in a medium bowl, set aside.

Cream together butter, sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Add portions of the flour mixture into the creamed mixture, alternately with the milk. Beat after each addition.

Stir in cranberries then spread into a greased 9×13 pan. Bake for 30-40 minutes or until golden and the top springs back.

Combine remaining ingredients (butter through evaporated milk) in a saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly with wire whisk. Simmer for 2 minutes then remove from heat and serve warm over cake. Yummy!

Note: If using a bundt pan, heat oven to 375 F and bake for 1 hour. Then remove it from the oven and wait 20 minutes before removing from pan and adding the sauce.
