CRANBERRY SAUCE OVER POUND CAKE A LA MODE
If you make cranberry sauce at the holidays, you use a whole bag of berries that yields a quart of sauce. If you have less than 12 at your table, chances are you are left with at least 2 cups of your sauce. This recipe provides a new use for that leftover sauce. It can also be used "the morning after" for topping buckwheat pancakes or waffles.

Tips:
- Use fresh cranberries. Fresh cranberries will give your cake a more vibrant flavor than frozen or dried cranberries.
- Don't overcook the cranberries. Overcooked cranberries will be tough and chewy. Cook them until they are just softened and still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality cake mix. A good quality cake mix will give your cake a better flavor and texture than a cheap or generic mix.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixed batter will make your cake tough and dense. Mix only until the ingredients are well combined.
- Bake the cake at the correct temperature. The cake should be baked at a temperature of 350 degrees Fahrenheit. If the oven is too hot, the cake will brown too quickly and the inside will be undercooked. If the oven is too cool, the cake will take too long to bake and will be dry.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and running off the cake.
Conclusion:
Cranberry sauce cake is a delicious and festive cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can use different types of cranberries, nuts, and spices to create a unique flavor profile. Cranberry sauce cake is also a great way to use up leftover cranberry sauce after the holidays.
