Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 3 eggs eggs
  • 2 cups sugar
  • 0.75 cup butter, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour see note below for gluten-free alternative
  • 12 oz fresh cranberries

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. 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. This forms a ribbon when lifting the beaters.
  2. Add the softened butter and vanilla extract; mix for two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Fold in the cranberries evenly.
  3. Spread the batter into a buttered 9x13 inch pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  4. Let cool completely before slicing into small pieces. Serve and enjoy!
