Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Grease an 8" square pan, metal or glass.
  3. Using an electric beater or strong whisk, beat the butter and 1 cup of the brown sugar together in a large bowl until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in one egg until thoroughly incorporated.
  5. Repeat with the second egg.
  6. In another bowl, mix the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt together. Alternate adding the dry mixture and buttermilk in this way: add a third of the dry mixture then half the buttermilk followed by a third of the dry mixture and the rest of the buttermilk. Add the remaining flour mixture and gently stir until you have a rich looking batter.
  7. Add the cranberries and 3/4 cup of white chocolate chips.
  8. Pour the batter into the pan, smoothing it out.
  9. Sprinkle 1/2 cup brown sugar and 1/4 cup white chocolate chips on top. Bake in the center of oven for 1 1/4 hours (75 minutes) until the center is firm when you gently press it.
  10. Allow the pan to cool on a rack for at least 20 minutes before removing the cake from the pan.
