Ingredients
You only need three basic ingredients:
- 1 box of yellow cake mix
- 1 can (about 400g) whole cranberry sauce
- 3 large eggs
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). This ensures your cake bakes evenly from the moment it goes in. Lightly grease a baking dish (8×8 or 9×9 inch works best) or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, cranberry sauce, and eggs.
Using a whisk or electric mixer, blend everything together until the batter becomes smooth and well combined. The cranberry sauce will give the batter a slightly pinkish color and a fruity aroma.
Tip: Don’t overmix—just stir until no dry cake mix remains.
