1CupCranberry Juice(or you can use milk if you do not have any cranberry juice)
8TablespoonsUnsalted Butter(softened)
2Large Eggs(lightly beaten)
1TeaspoonVanilla Extract
1 1/4CupsLight Brown Sugar(packed cup)
2CupsAll Purpose Flour
1TeaspoonBaking Soda
1TeaspoonBaking Powder
1/2TeaspoonSalt
1CupDried Cranberries
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
Soften butter in a microwave.
Lightly beat eggs.
Mix the cranberry juice (or milk), butter, eggs, vanilla extract & sugar together in a large mixing bowl. Stir until fully mixed.
Then add the remaining ingredients (except the cranberries). Stir with a large spoon or whisk until the batter is fully mixed. Do not overmix.
Add the dried cranberries after the batter has been completely mixed. Stir them into the batter with a wooden spoon. Make sure the cranberries are evenly spread throughout the batter.
Grease the bread pan with butter, line the bread pan with baking parchment paper or use a good nonstick bread pan in order to prevent the cranberry bread from sticking to the bread pan during the baking process.
Pour finished batter into the bread pan. Smooth out the top of the batter within the bread pan.
Bake in the oven at 325 F for 65-70 minutes.
Take out of oven and let the cranberry bread cool down in the bread pan for 10 minutes. Do not remove the cranberry bread from the bread pan during this 10 minute cool down period. Use oven mitts as the bread pan will be very hot coming out of the oven.
After 10 minutes, remove the cranberry bread from the bread pan. Use oven mitts. Place the cranberry bread on a cooling rack in order to completely cool. This cool down may take 1-2 hours. Gently slide a silicon spatula between the cranberry bread and the bread pan walls if the cranberry bread is stuck in the pan.
