Best Ever Dessert

This is my all time favorite dessert. I feel that I am betraying my mother by sharing the recipe with you, because it is her famous and traditional Christmas evening treat. Still, I can't resist publishing it because it would be so wrong to hoard it all to ourselves. I mean it, people. This dessert will make you fight your grandma for the last piece.

Cranberry Pudding Cake

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

Mix dry ingredients. Cut in butter using a pastry blender. Add milk and cranberries. Do not overmix--this is like a biscuit dough. Pour into a greased 9" pan. Bake at 375 degrees for 20-25 minutes. Serve warm with caramel sauce. I always double the recipe for the cake, but not the sauce.

Caramel Sauce

1/2 c. butter
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. evaporated milk

Combine all ingredients. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Go make it. NOW.
