This delicious recipe was my treat with tea this week. This bread really almost has the ratio of a pound cake. With a cup of butter and a full 8 ounce package of cream cheese it is moist and satisfying.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 eggs
2 cups flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups fresh cranberries
1/2 cup chopped pecans
- Preheat oven to 350° F.
- In a large mixing bowl cream together butter, sugar, cream cheese, and vanilla. Mix with a paddle attachment for 2 full minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time beating after each addition.
- In another bowl combine flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix dry into wet slowly and fold in the cranberries and the nuts.
Grease a 9" x 5" loaf pan. Pour batter in pan(s). Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes. Check with toothpick and see if it comes out clean. I had enough after creaming the butter (it was whipped) and sugar that it made another pan (7 3/8" x 3 5/8" x 2 1/4 ") That is a smaller loaf pan that makes 3 cups of batter. A smaller pan would only need 35 minutes.
Cool on a wire rack and then turn out and serve.
