Cranberry Dessert Cake With Butter Sauce

"A moist and flavorful fall dessert. The warm butter sauce really compliments the tart cranberries. I have purchased fresh cranberries in season and frozen for use later. The frozen cranberries work well in the recipe."

  1. I couldn't find fresh cranberries at the store just yet so I used dried cranberries instead. I poured hot water (enough to cover) and let them sit for 5 minutes to re-plump them. Then drained and chopped them.
