Method:

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan 160°C/gas 4.
  2. Grease and line two 5 inch round cake tins.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, butter, sugar, milk and mix with an electric whisk, until everything is blended.
  4. Add the flour and bicarbonate of soda and mix until well combined.
  5. Add the cranberries and white chocolate and mix.
