  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  • To make the cake: Combine flour, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. Whisk 1 cup sugar and 3 tablespoons melted butter together in a separate large bowl; add eggs and beat until smooth. Stir flour mixture and milk into egg mixture until batter is well blended. Fold in cranberries until just combined; pour batter into the prepared baking dish.
