Ingredients
  

For the batter:

  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2/3 cup vegetable oil

For the topping:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/3 cup white sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease 6 miniature loaf pans to prevent the bread from sticking. Set the prepared pans aside while you make the batter.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 2 cups white sugar, 4 cups all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon salt until well combined. Set this dry mixture aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl or using a stand mixer, beat together 2 eggs, 2 cups milk, and 2/3 cup vegetable oil until smooth.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredients from Step 2 to the wet mixture from Step 3, mixing until just combined and no dry flour remains. Be careful not to overmix, as that can make the loaves dense.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pans, filling each about an inch below the top to allow room for the bread to rise. Evenly sprinkle 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries and 1/3 cup white sugar over the tops of the loaves. I like to gently press the cranberries into the batter so they don't roll off while baking.
  • Bake the loaves in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let them cool in the pans for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
