Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9X5 loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the cranberries by tossing together the cranberries and the teaspoon of flour together in a. Small bowl. Set aside. This step is very important as it keeps the cranberries from sinking in the bread.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric mixer (stand up or hand held). Add in the vanilla and eggs. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl stir together the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
Slowly stir in the dry ingredients and milk into the butter mixture, alternating between each one, until fully combined. Either stir in by hand or on low speed to keep the batter from being over mixed.
Then gently stir in the cranberries by hand into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Bake for 45-60 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center of the bread comes out clean.
Let the bread cool completely in the pan. Remove the bread from the pan and cool on a wire rack.
Then the bread is ready to slice, serve and enjoy!
Notes
If you use frozen cranberries make sure that they are thawed out before using them. Store the leftover bread i
