Ingredients You’ll Need
- Unsalted butter, softened – ½ cup (1 stick)
- Cream cheese, softened – 4 ounces (half of a standard block)
- Granulated sugar – 1 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
- Large eggs – 2
- All-purpose flour – 1 ¾ cups
- Baking powder – 1 teaspoon
- Salt – ½ teaspoon
- Cranberries, fresh or frozen – 1 ½ cups
- Pecans, chopped (optional) – ½ cup
Tip: If using frozen cranberries, do not thaw before adding them to the batter. This prevents them from bleeding too much color into the loaf.
