Easy Cranberry Christmas Cake
Ingredients:
2 cups all-purpose flour
12 ounces fresh cranberries
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13 casserole dish.
2. Using a mixer, beat eggs and sugar for around 5 minutes until the mixture thickens and lightens in color, nearly doubling in size. This step is crucial as the eggs act as the leavening agent.
3. Add butter and vanilla, mix for 2 more minutes. Stir in the flour until just combined. Add cranberries and mix evenly.
4, Spread the batter in a buttered casserole dish.
5. Bake for 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.
