Number Of Ingredients 6

3 eggs
2 c sugar
3/4 c butter, softened
1 tsp vanilla
2 c flour
12 oz fresh cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees.
  • 2. With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
  • 3. Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes.
  • 4. Stir in the flour until just combined.
  • 5. Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.
  • 6. Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes or until very lightly browned and toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into pieces.
