Steps:
- 1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F., grease a 9" x 13" glass baking dish and set aside. Gather and measure out your ingredients.
- 2. In a mixer fitted with at paddle attachment, beat the eggs and sugar until for about 5-7 ,minutes and slightly thickened and pale in color. the mixture should double in size and have a ribbon effect when you pull the paddle from the batter.
- 3. Add in the vanilla, then the butter in small chunks and beat for about 2 more minutes until incorporated into the egg mixture.
- 4. Stir in the flour in three increments as not to create a flour cloud and stir into the wet mixture until just incorporated: do not over mix.
- 5. Remove the batter from the mixer and stir in the frozen cranberries: Note: With the cranberries still frozen the dough will stiffen up very quickly and using you hand covered with a glove makes this a lot easier.
- 6. Scrape the mixture into the prepared 9" x 13" glass baking dish and spread evenly into the corners and to the edges of the dish.
- 7. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until the top becomes a nice even lite golden brown or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting into the cake. Cut into 1" x 2" pieces....Enjoy!!
- 8. Notes: At Christmas you can add a bit of orange zest to the batter to make it more festive. Add the zest in step 3.
