2. Using a mixer, beat the eggs and sugar together for 5-7 minutes until the mixture thickens and turns light in color. This step helps to aerate the cake and should not be skipped.
3. Add the butter and vanilla extract, then mix for another 2 minutes.
4. Gently fold in the flour until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
5. Stir in the cranberries and evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
