Cranberry-Walnut Cake with Butter Sauce image

Tired of plain ol' cakes? Give this recipe a shot! Cranberry-lovers will definitely like it because the cake is tart, but the warm butter sauce creates the ideal balance of sweet and sour. Pour the sauce over the cake just before serving. -Katie Kahre, Duluth, Minnesota
