Cranberry Bread
Cranberry Bread is a moist quick bread combining softened butter, sugar, eggs, and milk with flour, baking powder, and salt to create a tender crumb studded with fresh or frozen cranberries. The cranberries provide bursts of tartness throughout the loaf, balancing the sweet batter. Baking in a buttered and floured loaf pan yields a golden crust around a soft, bright bread, ideal for breakfast or snacking.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup butter softened, unsalted
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- In a stand mixer cream your butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes then add in the vanilla and eggs until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl sift together the flour and baking powder before adding it into the stand mixer on low speed, alternating with the milk until just combined.
- Stir the cranberries in by hand until just combined and pour into the pan and bake for 60 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
