Cranberry Cake

It just wouldn't be Christmas without this cake.

6 T unsalted butter
2 c sugar
2 c evaporated milk
4 c flour
3 T baking powder
2 t salt
4 c whole cranberries, rinsed and picked over

Cream butter and sugar.  Add evaporated milk.  Add combined dry ingredients.  Fold in cranberries.  Smooth batter into a greased 9x13-inch pan and bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 45 minutes.  *Batter is really thick!  Don't be concerned.

Serve cake warm with hot butter sauce:

In a double boiler combine:
1 c unsalted butter
1 c sugar
3/4 c heavy cream
1 t vanilla

Heat through and then add vanilla.  Serve immediately.  You'll want a lot of this sauce on your cake.
