My friend Jolynn and I always sit around trying to come up with new recipes for the blog and with Thanksgiving coming up we started talking cranberry. She came up with the idea of a cranberry sauce poke cake and I’m so glad she did because it’s great!!
Plus easy: Bake the cake, melt the cranberry sauce, pour over top, refrigerate and add whipped topping… done!
It looks very pretty too once it’s cut into pieces.
I used the cranberry sauce with the whole berries, but I suppose you could you the cranberry sauce without the berries and it would work great too.
Use the top of a wooden spoon to poke the holes.
