Cranberry Cake

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Time for an abundance of cranberries! I stock up on cranberries, freeze some, bake with others, and cook up a few good meals with the rest.  I volunteered to bring some desserts to Thanksgiving this year so I went with cranberry cake (and a pumpkin pie but that's for another post). The base of the cake is super simple and you can pretty much add your favorite type of fruit- blueberries, mixed berries, etc.  

Ingredients:

About 2 1/2 cups of a 16 oz bag of cranberries (fresh or frozen)

1 1/2 cups of flour

1 stick of melted butter

1 3/4 cup of sugar

1 tsp vanilla 

2 eggs, beaten

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease a square pan (either 8x8 or 9x9). Wash the cranberries. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, vanilla. Add the melted butter and 2 eggs. Mix together and then add the cranberries, gently folding the cranberries into the batter.

Pour into the greased pan and pop into the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until a cake tester or toothpick comes out clean.  Enjoy!
