I made this as a practice run for the holidays-everyone loved it! The cake was moist and so pretty with the cranberries, but the real star was the butter sauce. This one goes in the holiday file!

This was an instant favorite! No waiting on the holidays in my house, Hubby asks for it about once a month!

Absolutely delicious! I made this for Christmas, and everyone loved it. The butter sauce is a must. The cake is designed to soak it up, and is too dry without it. This will probably become a standard holiday recipe here.

really just okay, nothing spectacular, without the butter sauce, the cake would have been pretty bland. would not make again. The picture looks better than it actually tastes

I really wanted to LOVE this recipe, as I have tasted the steamed cranberry pudding and LOVED IT. The ingredients are similar but cooking methods must make the difference. This was ok, but I probably won't make it again. I did follow directions and it looks wonderful but the taste was just ok. Extremely heavy/dense cake. Guess I need to break down and buy a cake mold/steamer and try that.

I really liked the cake, despite my mistake in my haste. Instead of 2 CUPS of evaporated milk, I put in 2 CANS of milk! When I tested it at 50 minutes, it was very battery, which was a clue. I kept it in the oven, checking every 5 minutes until it tested done. I didn't hold much hope, but resisted throwing it out. Amazingly, it turned out fine. The sauce is decadent. An unusual success.

This did not taste like cake at all. The dough and taste were bread-like, not light and flavorful but very dense and yeasty. It was not even good cranberry bread.

Cake was dry and had little flavor. Hot butter topping was not good at all. It had an overwhelming buttery taste. One person said it tasted like popcorn, another said like rice crispie mixture. I then tried to put vanilla frosting, but there was no saving this cake

This will definately replace my current recipe. The cake was moist. I used very small cranberries and it was a hit. The second time I made it, I substituted Almond Extract for the vanilla and liked it even better. Definately best when warm.

This is a great recipe. The only thing I would change is making a half recipe of the butter sauce.

This cake was wonderful! It was a nice change from the usual desserts we have after Christmas dinner. The butter sauce takes this cake from good to great! I can't wait to make it again next Christmas!

I made this for Christmas day dinner and it was a huge hit! My guests were clamoring for hot butter sauce by phone the next day! Really simple but cake took a full fifteen minutes longer to cook than instructions, Thanks!

I love to bake and bake all the time and this was one of my favorites! The tart cranberries with the rich butter sauce make a great contrast with the moist not overly sweet cake.

The hot butter sauce is amazing but no one liked the cake that much. Everyone use the butter sauce for the other desserts on the Christmas buffet table. Also - I cooked my cake for 80 minutes and it was still somewhat raw in the middle.

I followed the recipe without alterations. The cake was far too dense. Even the butter sauce could not save it! My family did not care for it at all.

This cake came out excellent and was easy to make. I used fresh cranberries and found it delicious and very tart. The butter-sugar sauce alleviated some of the tartness nicely. Beautiful presentation!

The cake is really REALLY rich. it does have a really nice flavor however. for the topping I used half and half instead of cream due to resources and I thought it to taste even better. 3 bites was about all i could take this cake was just too rich for me and my family- have a big glass of milk nearby if you intend to eat a whole slice. otherwise very very very good!
