- Gradually add in flour and baking powder, until well mixed into the sugar mixture.
- Stir in the cranberries until they are well mixed into the batter.

Cup of Yum
Icing Directions:
- Combine ingredients and mix until smooth and creamy.
- Optional: Top with ¼ cup dried cranberries and drizzle with ¼ cup melt white chocolate
Notes
- I noticed some brands of cranberries are much larger than others. If you prefer smaller, you can cut them in half.
- This was baked in a light white pan and may bake faster in a dark or glass pan.
