- 1 cup water
- 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or canned)
- 2 cups sweetened whipped cream
- 1 cup fresh or frozen cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the yellow cake mix, eggs, and water. Mix until smooth and lump-free.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown; a toothpick should come out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool slightly, then poke holes all over it using a wooden spoon handle.
