 Preheat oven, coat a pan with cooking spray and, using a small sieve or shaker, dust lightly with cocoa powder.

In a large, non-metallic bowl, combine Herman starter, water, flour and powdered milk. Let ferment uncovered, for 2 to 3 hours in a warm place until bubbly and a clear sour milk odor develops.

In a separate large bowl, mix together sugar, oil, salt, vanilla extract, cinnamon and baking soda. Add eggs, melted semi-sweet baking chocolate, and cranberry sauce. Combine the mixtures together and stir until well blended.

Pour into a prepared baking pan. Bake until knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool at least 10 minutes before serving, excellent served slightly warm.
