- Cream together butter, cream cheese and sugar in a large bowl or mixer, then beat in the eggs one at a time along with the vanilla.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda and salt until combined. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until just incorporated.
- Gently fold in the cranberries, then pour the mixture into the greased baking dish. (You could also use 2 loaf pans if desired.)
