Ingredients

Scale
  • 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

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round or square baking pan with butter or non-stick spray.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until completely liquid. Let it cool slightly.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
  4. In another bowl, combine the melted butter, sugar, eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture. Gently fold them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix!
  6. Gently fold in the cranberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Transfer the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
  8. Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. 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.
  10. Serve the cake warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar for a lovely finish if desired!
