Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and spray a 9X5 loaf pan with a non-stick cooking spray.
In a small bowl, toss together 1½ cups fresh cranberries and 1 teaspoon all-purpose flour. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together ? cup softened butter and 1 cup granulated sugar with a hand mixer or stand mixer. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and 2 large eggs. Mix until combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon 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
