How to Make Cranberry Sauce Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a tube pan (or line the bottom with parchment paper for easy removal).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, ½ teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon.
  3. Add 1 cup granulated sugar, ¾ cup cranberry sauce, ½ cup milk, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to the dry ingredients.
  4. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Pour batter into the prepared tube pan and bake for 60-70 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  6. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. While the cake cools, prepare the icing (recipe below). Once the cake is completely cool, drizzle the icing over the top.
