Cranberry Layer Cake
SUBMITTED BY:
Sandy Burkett
"'I adapted a Bundt cake recipe to create this layer cake,' says Sandy Burkett, Galena, Ohio. Cranberries, walnuts and homemade frosting make it taste so delicious that you'd never guess it starts with a convenient cake mix."

I made this cake for a Christmas party, and it was a big hit - the only dessert to be completely devoured by party's end! I usually only make desserts from scratch, so I was a little embarrassed when I recieved multiple requests for the recipe and had to fess up that it starts with a box cake mix! Oh well. This is a great cake for the holidays b/c it is so light and super easy to make. I didn't change anything in the recipe, except maybe used a little more walnuts.
