Holiday Cranberry Cake

Let's face it, we are all in a crazy busy hurry this time of year. It seems as though the to-do list is never ending and all we want to really do is have a little time to take a breather and enjoy the magic and warmth of the holiday season.  With this holiday cake you will not only get a little extra "me" time since it takes so little time...but also it will lighten your load at the grocery store with only 6 ingredients!!! Ok lets get started.
Something about cranberries just makes me happy. They are just so darn cute...and yummy with LOTS of sugar!

Recipe from :Barefoot in the Kitchen

3 eggs
2 cups of sugar
3/4 cup of room temp butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups flour
12 oz. bag of fresh cranberries

Preheat oven to 350*

Beat with a mixer the eggs and sugar  for 7 mins. I know that is a crazy long time but if you have a stand mixer just turn it on and set the timer and you have 7 mins to cross something off of the holiday to-do list=) Add the butter and vanilla and mix 2 more mins....yes all the mixing is a must!!!! Stir in the flour with a spoon and then fold in the berries.
Spread in a buttered 9x13 pan, bake for 40-45 mins. Until it is golden brown and passes the toothpick test. Let cool completely and enjoy....HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!
