This is a luscious and attractive cake that is makes a great desert or coffee cake.

I've found that as good as it tastes the night it's served; it's just that much better after it the next morning with coffee.

I hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

How to Make Pecan/Cranberry Cake

Step-by-Step

Preheat oven to 325. Grease 10-inch fluted or regular tube pan and sprinkle with ½ cup finely chopped nuts.
In large mixer bowl, beat cheese, margarine, sugar, vanilla and cinnamon until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine flour and baking powder. Add to batter, mixing well. Stir in chopped cranberries and coarsely chopped pecans. Pour into pan and bake for 1 hour 15 minutes or until wooden pick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes.
Remove from pan and cool thoroughly. Make a glaze by combining powdered sugar, milk and orange juice mixing well. Drizzle over cake if desired. Cake is just as good without.
