Cranberry Cake

Cranberry Cake

3 eggs
2 C sugar
3/4 C unsalted butter, softened and cut into chunks
1 t vanilla
1 T kirsch (optional)
1 t salt
2 T milk
2 C flour
2 1/2 C cranberries (1 bag)

Preheat oven to 350. Light grease a 9 x 13 pan

Beat eggs and sugar together for 5-7 minutes; the eggs will increase in volume quite a bit, streaming into ribbons when you lift the beaters. They will also turn pale yellow

Add butter and vanilla. Kirsch is optional but the contrast of the cherry flavor with the cranberries is good

Beat for 2 more minutes. Add milk and salt and mix for 30 seconds. Stir in flour blending well - stir in cranberries.

Bake at 350 for 45-50 minutes. You may have to tent to top with aluminum foil if it starts to burn (mine didn't)
Cool completely on rack before serving.
