Method

Preheat the oven to 350 F. Butter a 9-inch cake pan or baking dish.

Cake: Put 2 cups of flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and salt in a mixing bowl. Using an electric mixer, cream together butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time, beating after each addition. Alternately add milk and flour mixture in increments.

Put cranberries and walnuts in a bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 cup flour.  Fold into the batter(do not add any of the excess flour). Pour into prepared pan. Bake in preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean.

Sauce:  Put both granulated and brown sugars, butter and cream into a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir well and remove from heat.

Place slices of the warm cake on serving plates and pour the sauce over. Put remaining sauce into a sauceboat to serve on the side.  If  (IF!) there are leftovers, you can store it in the refrigerator and rewarm in the microwave.

Serves 8.
