  • Rehydrate the cranberries by placing them in a bowl and adding boiling water to cover. Let sit for about 10 minutes, drain well, and set aside.

  • Combine melted butter, sugar, eggs, almond extract, and orange zest in a medium bowl. Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in another bowl and stir into the butter mixture just until combined. Fold in pecans and cranberries. Pour into the prepared pan.

  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean, 40 to 45 minutes. Cool for about 15 minutes. Remove cake from the springform pan, sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve.

Cook's Note:

To give the cake a little more eye appeal, I like to place some whole pecans on top of the batter before the cake goes into the oven.

It was tasty but quite dry and I baked it in a Wolf steam oven on the convection humid setting. I think I'll try it again with must room temperature butter rather than melting it. There was quite a bit of butter that settled to the bottom on the spring form pan and was wasted. Read More

I don’t like the texture of this cake, something is missing. There are too much nuts and cranberries in one cake and when you cut a slice out, it just crumbled. It needs something to bind it all together, maybe I’ll add some sour cream in the mixture next time. Read More

Delicious! I followed the recipe exactly. As long as I was getting the baking dishes dirty, I made two separate batches and gave one away. It's pretty easy to put together. Read More

I didn't use spring form pan, just a 9 inch square cake pan and it came out perfect. Delicious, crispy on out side and tender inside. Love it. Will make again. Read More
