After I've served this cake, guests never leave my house without requesting the recipe. The sweetness of the butter cream sauce balances beautifully with the cake's tart cranberries. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup evaporated milk |
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
3 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon salt |
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, halved |
butter cream sauce: |
1/2 cup butter, cubed |
1 cup sugar |
1 cup heavy whipping cream |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; beat in milk. Combine the flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in cranberries.
2. Pour into a greased 9-in. square baking pan. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool on a wire rack.
3. For sauce, melt butter in a saucepan. Stir in the sugar and cream; bring to a boil, stirring often. Boil for 8-10 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in vanilla. Serve warm with cake. Yield: 9 servings.
