Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for topping)
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch baking pan.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries and granulated sugar. Set aside while you prepare the batter.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the butter mixture, alternating with the buttermilk. Mix until just combined.
- Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread half of the cranberry mixture over the batter. Pour the remaining batter on top, and finish by layering the rest of the cranberries on top.
- Mix together the brown sugar and chopped nuts (if using), and sprinkle over the cake.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
