Cranberry Christmas Cake

By bobcat

Ingredients

• 3 eggs
• 2 cups sugar
• 3/4 cup butter, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups flour
• 12 oz. fresh cranberries

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. With a mixer, beat 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. Add 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 x 13 pan. Bake for 40-45 minutes or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake comes out clean. Let cool completely before cutting.
