Ingredients
Scale
- 3 eggs
- 2 cups sugar
- 3/4 cup butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 12 oz fresh cranberries
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Beat eggs + sugar in a mixer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened and light in color. Mixture should almost double in size. Eggs work as a leavening agent, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
- Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes.
- Stir in the flour until just combined.
- Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.
- Spread in a buttered 9×13 pan.
- Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Let cool completely before cutting into small slices.
- These are adorable in martini glasses with cool whip, or on a decorative tray.
