- 2 cups Fresh or Frozen Cranberries
- 2 cups All-Purpose Flour
- 1 cup Granulated Sugar
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Whole Milk
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until completely liquid. Let it cool slightly.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
- Gently fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar for a lovely finish if desired!
