Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Whisk or electric mixer
Measuring cups and spoons
Loaf pans or mini loaf pans
Wire rack for cooling

Ingredients

1 cup butter softened
8 oz cream cheese softened
1.5 cups sugar
1.5 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1.5 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp salt
2 cups cranberries fresh or frozen
0.5 cups chopped pecans optional

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9 x 5 inch loaf pans or four mini loaf pans.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then mix into the wet batter until just combined.
Gently fold in the cranberries and chopped pecans, if using.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans and bake at 350°F for 45-60 minutes (40 minutes for mini loaves).
Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
Allow the bread to cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
