Cream Cheese Cranberry Bread Recipe

This sweet cream cheese bread compliments the tart cranberries it's loading with resulting in an amazing Cream Cheese Cranberry Bread! If you are looking for a new quick bread recipe that is perfect for the fall and Thanksgiving you have found it. It's so amazingly soft and tender, plus quick and easy to make. I love a big slice with butter and a mug of coffee or for a quick snack in the afternoon!

Ingredients

  • 1 c. butter softened
  • 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
  • 1 1/2 c. sugar
  • 1 1/2 tsp vanilla
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 c. all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 c. cranberries fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 c. Chopped Pecans optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, cream cheese, sugar and vanilla. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In another bowl combine flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly mix into wet batter until combined. Fold in cranberries and nuts.
  4. Pour into two greased 9 in. x 5 in. loaf pans. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-60 minutes if using two loaf pans. You can also use 4 mini loaf pans for 40 minutes.
  5. *THIS RECIPE USED TO HAVE YOU USE ONE LOAF PAN AND BAKE IT FOR 90 MINUTES. AFTER MANY COMPLAINTS WE ADJUSTED THE RECIPE TO TWO LOAF PANS. WE HAVE HAD SUCCESS WITH ONE LOAF PAN, BUT WE FOUND THE MOST FOOL-PROOF WAY IS TO USE TWO LOAF PANS.*

Notes

  • There are many comments about this not baking through etc. I have retested the recipe and it will bake through in one 9x5 loaf pan, but you can also use two if you'd like. Adjust baking time to about 50-60 minutes. It also works great in four mini loaf pans!
