12-15 Servings
Prep: 15 min. + Bake: 40 min. + cooling

Ingredients

2-1/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
2 eggs
1 cup molasses
3/4 cup water
2-1/4 cups fresh cranberries or frozen cranberries, thawed
BUTTER SAUCE:
1-1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup butter, cubed

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, salt, baking soda and baking powder. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, molasses and water; stir into dry ingredients just until moistened. Fold in cranberries. Pour into a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a saucepan, combine the sauce ingredients. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Cut warm cake into squares; serve with butter sauce. Yield: 12-15 servings.
