Need to Share This!

The need for festive desserts that are not super time consuming is great, at least in my book.  Today, I put together a really simple cake that turned out pretty well.  It's a pretty white cake playing peek-a-boo with red cranberries.  Here's the recipe:

Cake:
3T butter
1c sugar
2c flour
1/4t salt
1c milk
3t baking powder
3c fresh cranberries

Mix first 6 ingredients until well incorporated.  Gently fold in cranberries.  Bake for 35 minutes at 350.

Butter Glaze:
1c butter
2c sugar
2T flour
1c milk
2T vinegar
2t vanilla

Bring all ingredients to a boil.  Drizzle over cake and serve.
**Just as a side note, I thought the amount of glaze was too much.  I like sweets, but not overly sweet sweets (if that makes any sense).  This could easily be taken down 1/2 and still have plenty to cover the cake.
