Always welcomed on holidays, this pudding-like dessert is my mother's recipe, says Medford, Oregon field editor Marion Lowery.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup milk
2 cups cranberries
2 tablespoons grated orange or lemon peel
cream sauce:
1-1/3 cups sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2/3 cup butter
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg. Combine the flour, baking powder and nutmeg; add to the creamed mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. Stir in cranberries and orange peel.
2. Pour into a greased 11-in. x 7-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
3. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine sauce ingredients. Cook and stir over medium heat until heated through. Cut warm cake into squares; serve with cream sauce. Yield: 8-10 servings.
