Cream Cheese Cranberry Loaf

  1. Cream Butter and Cream Cheese: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a standard loaf pan. In a large bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to beat the softened butter and cream cheese together until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
  3. Incorporate Eggs: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition until fully incorporated.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until the batter is just combined. Avoid overmixing.
