How to Make Almond Cranberry Bread

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy.
3. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Stir in the cranberries and ½ cup chopped almonds (optional).
7. Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8. Top with the remaining ¼ cup sliced almonds.
9. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Baking time may vary depending on your oven).
10. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
