Cranberry Bread
Description
This Cranberry Bread is made by creaming butter and sugar until fluffy, then incorporating eggs and vanilla for richness. The dry ingredients, including flour, baking powder, and salt, are sifted to ensure even distribution and combined alternately with milk to maintain moisture. Folding in cranberries gently preserves their shape and prevents staining the batter too much. The batter pours into an 8x4 inch loaf pan and is baked at 350°F (175°C) for about 60 minutes until a tester comes out clean.
The result is a soft bread with a tender crumb and tangy bursts of cranberry flavor. The golden crust contrasts subtly with the moist interior. This bread pairs well with butter or cream cheese and can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
No special preparation for cranberries is needed; frozen cranberries can be used directly. The bread stores well at room temperature for a few days and can be sliced and toasted to refresh leftovers.
