Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a bowl, mix together the cranberries and sugar. Set this aside for later.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream the butter until it's light and fluffy. Gradually add in the sugar and cranberry mixture, beating until well combined.
Next, add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Slowly mix in the dry ingredients and milk alternately, starting and ending with the dry ingredients. This will ensure a smooth and well-incorporated batter.
Pour the batter into a greased 9-inch cake pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.
This holiday cranberry cake is delicious on its own, but you can also add some extra festive touches to make it even more special. Top it with a vanilla cream cheese frosting and some fresh cranberries for a beautiful and flavorful presentation.
You can also add some cinnamon or nutmeg to the batter for a warm and cozy holiday flavor. And for an extra burst of sweetness, sprinkle some powdered sugar on top of the cake.
With its bright and tangy cranberries, this holiday cranberry cake is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. So impress your loved ones this holiday season with this delicious and festive dessert. Happy baking!
