Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 eggs eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 0.75 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 12 oz fresh cranberries

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat eggs with sugar until light and thickened, about 5-7 minutes. Mixture should form a ribbon when lifted. Do not skip this step as eggs act as leavening.
  2. Add softened butter and vanilla; mix for 2 more minutes. Stir in flour until just combined. Fold in cranberries evenly.
  3. Spread batter into a buttered 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow the cake to cool completely before slicing into small pieces, about 1x2 inches. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flavor.
