Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Preparation Steps
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat eggs with sugar until thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size and form a ribbon when lifted.
  2. Add softened butter and vanilla; mix for two more minutes. Stir in flour until just combined. Gently fold in cranberries evenly throughout the batter.
  3. Spread batter into a buttered 9x13 inch baking dish. Bake for 40-50 minutes, until lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
  4. Allow to cool completely before slicing into small squares to serve. Enjoy!

Notes

This cake is perfect for holiday gatherings and can be served with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for extra flair.
