How to Make It — Step by Step
Cream Butter and Sugar
Beat softened unsalted butter and sugar together until light and fluffy. Add cream cheese and beat again until smooth and well combined.
Add Eggs and Vanilla
Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla essence until the wet mixture is creamy and uniform.
Fold in Dry Ingredients
Sift in maida, baking soda, and salt. Gently fold into the wet mixture using a spatula. Do not overmix. Fold in dried cranberries last.
Pour and Prep
Grease a loaf tin with butter and pour in the batter. Smooth the top evenly. Preheat your convection microwave to 180 degrees C for 10 minutes.
Bake
Bake at 180 degrees C for 35 to 40 minutes in convection mode. Insert a toothpick in the center – if it comes out clean, your loaf is ready. Cool before slicing.
Tips for the Best Result
Make sure your butter, eggs, and cream cheese are all at room temperature before mixing so the batter comes together smoothly without any lumps.
Toss your dried cranberries in a teaspoon of flour before folding them into the batter to prevent them from sinking to the bottom of the loaf while baking.
Always preheat your convection microwave to 180 degrees Celsius and use the convection mode, not microwave mode, for even baking and a golden crust.
How to Store
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, you can replace each egg with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tablespoons of water, rested for 5 minutes.
Yes, but reduce the quantity to 1 third cup as fresh cranberries release more moisture and can make the loaf too wet.
Store-bought plain cream cheese works well, but homemade gives a fresher flavor and fits the Bake With Neetu real food approach.
Insert a toothpick into the center and if it comes out clean with no wet batter, the loaf is done.
