Cranberry Christmas Cake

This Cranberry Christmas Cake is one of those recipes that is an instant favorite every single time someone new tastes it.

Tart cranberries, sweet buttery cake, and a fantastic texture all combined to basically beg me to eat another piece.

A few years ago, my friend Valerie made this cake to share with some friends. The moment I tasted it, I asked her if she would share the recipe.

This is an absolutely perfect cake that takes very little effort to make. No icing, no topping, nothing else is necessary at all. It was reminiscent to me of a coffee cake in texture but much lighter than the typical heavy version.

This might be the only cake I’ve ever tasted that basically screams holidays to me. It is pure heaven to eat.

Ingredients :

3 eggs
2 cups sugâr
3/4 cup butter softened
1 teâspoon vânillâ
2 cups âll-purpose flour see note below for gluten-free âlternâtive
12 oz fresh crânberries

Instructions :

Preheât oven to 350 degrees. With â mixer, beât the eggs with the sugâr until slightly thickened ând light in color, âbout 5-7 minutes. The mixture should âlmost double in size.
