Ingredients
1 box Spice or Yellow Cake Mix
28 ounces Whole Berry Cranberry Sauce (approx 2 cans)
0.75 cup Unsalted Butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
Coat a 9×13 baking dish thoroughly with non-stick cooking spray.
Spread the cranberry sauce evenly into the bottom of the dish, mashing gently with a fork.
Dump the dry cake mix over the cranberry layer.
Spread the cake mix carefully into the corners with a spatula to ensure full coverage.
Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the top of the dry cake mix.
Bake for 45 minutes until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling.
Notes
You can substitute the yellow cake mix with a gluten-free version if needed. For extra texture, you may add a handful of chopped walnuts or pecans on top of the cake mix before drizzling the butter.
