Cranberry Cake with hot 'butter cream' sauce – Gluten/Dairy Free

My Grandma used to make a delicious cranberry Cake with hot butter cream sauce. This gluten and dairy free version is delicious!

*Note
This recipe does mention butter as an ingredient, however there are several dairy free substitutes that can work well too. Coconut oil, coconut butter (meat of the coconut ground into a paste), applesauce, & margarine can each still render a delicious cake, though may change the texture some.

  2. 2 3/4 cups Gluten Free Flour Mix
