~~~Cranberry Christmas Cake~~~

~Cranberry Christmas Cake~

Ingredients
3 eggs
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla (or almond flavoring if desired )
2 cups all purpose flour
12 oz fresh cranberries
1 1/2 teaspoon fresh orange zest (if desired and I highly recommend it !!! )

Directions
Preheat oven to 350 *
With a mixer, beat the eggs with the sugar until slightly thickened and light in color, about 5-7 minutes. The mixture should almost double in size. The eggs work as your leavening agent in this recipe, so do not skip this step. This mixture should form a ribbon when you lift the beaters out of the bowl.
Add the butter and vanilla; mix two more minutes.
Stir in the flour until just combined.
Add the cranberries and stir to mix throughout.( I toss and add my berries with about a tablespoon of the flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the cake ) Add zest at this time if using.
Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan. Bake for 40-50 minutes, or until very lightly browned and a toothpick inserted near the center of the cake comes out clean.
Let cool completely before cutting into small slices. : can cut into fairly small pieces, about 1"x2", so that they could be easily eaten at a party.
You may also make a simple glaze using
1 cup powder sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla,or almond flavoring
1-2 tablespoons of milk or water
Mix ingredients adding enough milk or water to pour easily and drizzle on cooled cake.
