225 g caster sugar

2 eggs

285 g flour

1 tsp baking soda

1. Cover cranberries with boiling water and leave to soak for 15 minutes. Strain and discard liquid.

2. Preheat oven to 180°C. Grease a loaf tin well with butter.

3. Cream the butter and sugar until pale. Add eggs one at a time, beating continuously.

4. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add mashed banana, cranberries, and buttermilk and stir to combine.
