1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 tablespoons Nutella

Instructions: To make the cranberry filling,reduce the cranberries with water under tender about 15 minutes;process to a smooth paste for the filling.

Preheat oven to 350°F and grease a loaf pan with butter.

Sift all the dry ingredients(flour and powders) in large mixing bowl.

In another mixing bowl whisk together oil and sugar until creamy. Crack the egg and whisk some more and stir in vanilla.
