Overview:

  • Preparation Time: 15 minutes
  • Cooking Time: 55 minutes
  • Total Time: 1 hour 10 minutes
  • Servings: 20

Ingredients:

Ingredient Quantity
Flour 2 3/4 cups
Sugar 2 1/4 cups
Baking powder 2 tsp
Baking soda 1 tsp
Salt 1/4 tsp
Sour cream 2 cups
Milk 1/2 cup
Eggs 2
Fresh cranberries 2 cups
Butter 1 cup
Half-and-half 3 1/2 cups
Vanilla extract 1 tsp

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Prepare the pan: Grease and flour the bottom only of a 9×13-inch baking pan, ensuring the cake doesn’t stick.

  3. Combine dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, 1 1/4 cups of sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure even distribution of ingredients.

  4. Prepare wet ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, beat together the sour cream, milk, eggs, and almond extract until well combined.

  5. Combine mixtures: Add the sour cream mixture to the dry ingredients in the large bowl. Stir until the dry ingredients are just moistened. Avoid overmixing to maintain the cake’s texture.

  6. Incorporate cranberries: Gently fold the fresh cranberries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.

  7. Bake the cake: Spoon the batter into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 45 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Prepare the Butter Sauce: While the cake is baking, prepare the decadent Butter Sauce. In a small saucepan, combine the remaining 1 cup of sugar, butter, and half-and-half.

  9. Bring to a boil: Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients are well combined.

  10. Simmer and stir: Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

  11. Add vanilla: After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.

  12. Serve: Once the cake is baked to perfection, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly. Cut into squares and serve warm, drizzling the delectable Butter Sauce generously over each portion.
