I brought one of these to my neighbor, and five minutes later she was calling me, practically begging for the recipe! This loaf is that good — soft, buttery, filled with tart cranberries and pockets of creamy white chocolate that melt right in your mouth. Perfect with coffee or tea, and it makes your whole kitchen smell heavenly.
✨ Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened

- ½ cup milk
- ¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¾ cup white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
For the glaze:
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1–2 tbsp milk or cream
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
👩🍳 Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.
- In another bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add eggs one at a time, then mix in vanilla.
- Alternate adding dry ingredients and milk, mixing until smooth.
- Fold in cranberries and white chocolate gently.
- Pour batter into loaf pan and bake for 45–55 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let cool, then drizzle with glaze made by whisking powdered sugar, vanilla, and milk together.
💡 Tip: Warm it up for 10 seconds in the microwave before serving — it tastes freshly baked every time.
