Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup whipped cream topping
- Fresh cranberries (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt until combined.
- In another bowl, beat eggs, milk, and vegetable oil until smooth. Pour into the dry mixture and stir gently until just combined.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool slightly, then poke holes all over the cake with a fork. Pour cranberry sauce over the warm cake so it seeps in.
