Ingredients

Scale

1 cup fresh cranberries
1 cup granulated sugar
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp ground cinnamon
2 large eggs
⅓ cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1 tsp vanilla extract
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8-inch round cake pan or line with parchment paper.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs before adding vegetable oil and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients until just combined; lumps are okay.
Gently fold in the cranberries to evenly distribute throughout the batter.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Let cool slightly before serving.
