The sweet butter sauce really balances this homemade cranberry cake! A perfect Christmas dessert!

Old Fashioned Cranberry Christmas Cake

As someone who was just starting to get feedback from the public on my recipes, I wasn’t prepared for the negativity. I was hurt, upset, and offended. The directions clearly said you would have to chill the dough, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise.

I decided to try empathizing with her because I had a little one myself at that time. It’s hard to think straight in that season of life, perhaps she was overwhelmed trying to make Christmas memories. I also wanted to make sure something like that never happened again.

What You’ll Need for the Cake

1/2 cup Butter, Softened

2 cups Sugar

1 (12 oz) can Evaporated Milk

4 cups Flour

2 tsp Salt

2 tbsp Baking Powder

4 cups Fresh Cranberries

And the Butter Sauce

1 cup Butter

2 cups Sugar

1 cup Heavy Cream

2 tsp Vanilla

How to Make Cranberry Bundt Cake

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with non-stick spray and set aside.

In a large bowl, beat together 1/2 cup softened butter and 2 cups sugar until smooth and fluffy. Mix in 1 (12 oz) can evaporated milk until combined.

In another bowl, whisk together 4 cups flour, 2 tsp salt, and 2 tbsp baking powder.

Beat dry ingredients into the wet until well mixed.

Fold in 4 cups fresh cranberries.

Sprinkle a little flour all over the inside of the pan and shake until thinly covered. Dump any remaining flour.

Spoon batter evenly into the pan.

Bake for 40-50 minutes. The cake is done when it’s golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.

When done, cool on a rack for 10 minutes, then transfer to a plate.

And the Butter Sauce

In a small sauce pan, melt 1 cup butter over medium heat. Stir in 2 cups sugar and 1 cup heavy cream. Heat until sugar is melted and sauce is warm. Don’t let it boil. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tsp vanilla.

Serve warm sauce over each slice of cake.
