Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1 large egg
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Dash salt
1 cup 2% milk
2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries, thawed
SAUCE:
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
3 tablespoons butter
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease a 13 x 9-in. baking pan.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until crumbly. Beat in egg. In another bowl, whisk flour, baking powder and salt; add to butter mixture alternately with milk, beating well after each addition. If desired, coarsely chop cranberries. Fold cranberries into batter.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
In a large saucepan, combine brown sugar, water, sugar and butter; bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly to dissolve sugar. Cook and stir until slightly thickened; stir in vanilla. Serve warm with cake.
