Beat the first 6 ingredients together, in a big bowl, mixing and fluffing well. Add craisins and continue to beat mixture. In a medium bowl combine the remaining ingredients with a wire wisk. Add dry ingredients to the big bowl, mix well then spoon into a greased 9x9” glass baking pan. Bake 40-50minutes in a 325° oven.
