Easy Cranberry Cake Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• 3 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup milk
• 3 cups fresh cranberries
• 1 cup white sugar
• 0.5 cup butter
• 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish. Gather all ingredients for the cranberry cake and vanilla sauce.
2. In a large bowl, combine flour, baking soda, and salt for the cranberry cake recipe.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons melted butter. Add eggs and beat until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour mixture and milk until a well-blended batter forms.
4. Gently fold in the cranberries until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish for baking.
5. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, approximately 30 minutes. Check for doneness.
6. To prepare the vanilla sauce, heat 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup butter, heavy cream, and vanilla extract in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Cook and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved, about 10 minutes.
7. Pour the hot vanilla sauce evenly over the hot cranberry cake. Let the cake cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
