Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13 inch pan.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, beat together eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Gradually combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture, stirring gently to avoid overmixing.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly before poking holes all over its surface.
Warm the cranberry sauce and spread it evenly over the cake to absorb into the holes.
Allow it to cool completely, then top with whipped topping before serving.
