Cranberry Christmas Cake

🧂Ingredients

• •3 eggs
• •2 cups sugar
• •3/4 cup butter softened
• •1 teaspoon vanilla
• •2 cups all-purpose flour
• •12 oz fresh cranberries

👩‍🍳Instructions

1. 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.

2. 2

   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. 3

   Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined.

4. 4

   Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.

5. 5

   Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.

6. 6

   Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. I cut mine into fairly small pieces, about 1"x2", so that they could be easily eaten at a party.
