Tis the season for baking, desserts, and...cranberries!
When I saw this 6 ingredient, made-from-scratch cake, I knew that I had to try it. It is so simple to make and the end result is the perfect combination of sweet and tart.

Christmas Cranberry Cake
(Original recipe from Barefeet In The Kitchen)
Ingredients:
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup butter, softened
2 cups all purpose flour (or 100% whole wheat pastry flour - Bob's Red Mill is my favorite)
12 oz. fresh cranberries
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a 9x13 baking dish with butter.
2. Beat eggs and sugar for 5-7 minutes on low. Mixture will thicken slightly and close to double in size.
3. Add butter and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add flour and mix until just combined. Stir in cranberries.
4. Place batter evenly into greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake for 40-50 minutes until edges are golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
5. Cool completely before cutting and serving. Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
Note: If you want to be able to make this amazing cake throughout the year, buy several bags during the holiday season and freeze them.
I made this especially for my husband because he loves cranberries so much. Well, he took one bite and wanted to eat the whole cake. I'll admit that the kids and I felt the same way! I'll definitely be taking this to our family's Thanksgiving...and probably Christmas too.
It's the perfect holiday treat - sweet, simple, and everyone loves it! Happy baking and Happy Thanksgiving!
