  3. In a separate bowl, crack 2 large eggs and beat until frothy. Add in 1 cup of milk, 1/3 cup of oil, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together using a spatula.
  5. Fold in 1 1/2 cups of fresh cranberries evenly throughout the batter.
  6. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan, spreading evenly.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, checking for doneness with a toothpick.
  8. Once baked, cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
