Cranberry cake with hot butter sauce recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all- purpose flour
• 3 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 2 cups fresh cranberries

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 2 cups sugar
• 1 cup cream or half- and-half
• 2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 13 × 9- inch glass baking pan.
2. To prepare the cake, sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a small bowl. Combine the butter and sugar and beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended. Add the beaten eggs. Add the milk alternately with the sifted dry ingredients, starting and ending with the dry ingredients; mix well. Stir in the cranberries. Pour into the prepared pan. Bake for 30 minutes until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
3. To prepare the sauce, combine the butter, sugar, cream, and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium- low heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar melts, about 10 minutes. Serve hot over the cake.
